Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has concluded the award stage for a procurement titled "Payment Solutions 2," aimed at providing corporate cards for employees who work remotely and need to travel frequently. This service falls under the Credit Cards industry category (CPV code 30161000) and is specifically located in Coventry, England (postal code CV3 4PE). The procurement method used was a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, justified by urgency under Regulation 32 (2c). The contract period starts on 1st August 2024 and ends on 31st July 2028, with the agreement awarded to Barclays Bank Plc.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the financial services sector, particularly those involved in payment solutions and corporate expense management. The implementation of corporate cards can streamline travel and remote work expenses, providing efficiency and cost savings for DEFRA. While the direct award to a large supplier like Barclays Bank Plc may limit immediate opportunities for smaller businesses, similar future tenders could present growth opportunities for companies capable of offering competitive and innovative payment solutions suitable for large-scale organisations. Familiarity with framework agreements and the ability to demonstrate quick, scalable deployment will be key for businesses looking to compete in similar tenders.
