Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Over the Counter Bill Payment Services, through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) G-Cloud 14 framework (RM:1557.14). This service falls under the Financial transaction processing and clearing-house services category. The contract encompasses the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom and spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The procurement was conducted as a direct award with Allplay Limited securing the contract worth £662,100. The award was announced on 15th May 2025, marking the process as complete.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in financial and clearing-house services, particularly those capable of offering reliable and efficient payment solutions within the public sector framework. While the direct award limits the competitive aspect, companies seeking to engage in similar tenders should focus on aligning themselves with government procurement frameworks like CCS, enhancing their market presence and chances for future awards. Large-scale enterprises, such as Allplay Limited, which already have a footing in public sector contracts, are well-suited to compete in this domain.
