Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by Chelmsford City Council, focused on acquiring an electronic payment system under the title "Electronic Payment System." This particular procurement fell within the financial systems software category, with location-based delivery in Chelmsford, England (postcode CM1 1JE). The procurement stage has been concluded, with the tender marked as complete. This was initiated as a call-off from the PFH Electronic Payments Solutions framework, following the selective procurement method. The process covered significant dates, with the tender period having ended on 1st June 2026, and the subsequent award issued on the same date. The contract extends from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028, with an allocated budget of £45,000.

The tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in providing financial systems software, particularly those capable of delivering robust electronic payment solutions.
