The Ministry of Defence (MOD), located in London, England, has completed a procurement process for the provision of a Prepaid Cards Service to support the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP). The industry category for this tender is Banking Services, and it was executed under a selective procurement method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was in the award stage as of 25th July 2025, with Prepaid Financial Services Limited appointed as the supplier, and the contract valued at £150,000. The service period runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st December 2025, and the entire process was targeted for a UK delivery location.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for large-scale businesses specialising in banking services.
