Summary of the contracting process

Brighton & Hove City Council procured banking transactional services through a call-off contract. The requirement is for banking services supporting the council’s financial transactions. Delivery is in the South East of England. The procurement is classified as services and relates to banking (CPV 66110000).

The procurement has been awarded. The council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. Lloyds Bank Plc was selected, with an award value of £640,000. The award date was 13 January 2026. The contract runs from 31 March 2026 to 30 March 2028. The original requirement described a two-year initial term, with options to extend up to 13 March 2032, or up to 13 March 2034 if the framework is extended. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2025. The recorded information does not set out evaluation criteria or separate lots.

This award shows that Brighton & Hove City Council buys transactional banking services through a framework call-off, rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the capability and operational capacity to provide banking services for a local authority’s financial transactions at a substantial scale. The selected supplier is a large bank, indicating that established banking infrastructure and experience delivering transactional services are relevant strengths. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller providers may also be relevant if they can meet the council’s service requirements and operate within the framework route. Suppliers focused on other financial services or unrelated public-sector work are less directly aligned with this requirement.
