DWP Contingency Payment Service - Lot 1 Short Term Payments Contingency (STPC)
Notice Description
This procurement is for the provision of the DWP Payment Contingency Services and a Sponsor Bank. This awarded contract relates to Lot 1 - STPC.

The end to end Payment Contingency service requires two separate components, these are: - LOT 1 - A service to reformat BACS payments into Faster Payments for onward submission into the Faster Payment infrastructure - LOT 2 - A Sponsor Bank for the settlement of funds with the Bank of England. DWP makes circa. 2.5m payments per day and pays over PS3.7bn per week. The end to end solution must be available from 01/07/22.
