Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service, acting for central government and the wider public sector, is procuring an eight-year Dynamic Purchasing System for open banking services across the United Kingdom. The scope covers digital payment services, account information services and Confirmation of Payee services, enabling public bodies to source providers for financial data access, payment processing and payee verification. This is a financial services opportunity, classified under CPV 66000000. Suppliers may provide one or more of these service areas, subject to the requirements in the buyer’s needs and bidding documents. The arrangement is intended to support continuing public-sector demand as the open banking market develops, with supplier onboarding available throughout its duration.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective restricted procedure above the applicable threshold. It is structured as a Dynamic Purchasing System rather than a single fixed award, allowing suppliers to onboard during the agreement. The published tender deadline is 7 January 2032 at 23:59 UTC. The stated contract period runs from 8 January 2032 at 00:00 UTC to 9 January 2032 at 23:59:59 UTC, although the procurement description says the agreement is expected to run for eight years and flags that certain dates were manipulated for system compatibility. The total estimated value is £800,000,000. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits established open banking, payments and financial technology providers able to deliver secure, reliable services for public-sector users. Relevant capability includes digital payment processing, account information access and Confirmation of Payee functionality, together with the technical integration, operational resilience and customer support needed to serve central government and wider public-sector organisations. Providers with experience of regulated financial services, open banking ecosystems, payment security and identity or account verification are likely to be well placed. The DPS structure may also suit specialist suppliers offering a focused service alongside broader providers able to cover several requirements. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are expressly considered suitable to participate.
