Summary of the contracting process

Swale Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Merchant Services." This contract, which falls under the Financial and Insurance Services industry category, is valued at £209,200 and enables the Council to process customer payments securely via cards and other devices. The contract period began on 9th June 2022 and will run until 8th June 2026. The procurement method used was a selective process, executed through a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework Agreement RM6118, with key milestones including the tender period that ended on 29th March 2022.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in payment processing and financial services to engage with local government. Companies that are adaptable and can provide secure, encrypted payment solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The involvement of larger suppliers such as Worldpay Limited indicates a strong competition within this space, making it crucial for SMBs to differentiate their offerings in order to capture opportunities in this market.
