Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Worthing Borough Council procured an electronic payment system, classified as software and information systems. The requirement is for the council’s payment-system needs, with delivery in the South East of England. It was a goods procurement made through Lot 3 of the Procurement for Housing Electronic Payment Systems Framework. The selected solution is supplied by Access Paysuite Limited. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of electronic payment platforms, payment-processing software and associated information systems capable of supporting public-sector users. The procurement concerns a defined electronic payments solution rather than general software development, unrelated financial services or construction and other works. The buyer is Worthing Borough Council, based at Town Hall, Chapel Road, Worthing, in England.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Worthing Borough Council used a selective call-off contract from the Procurement for Housing Electronic Payment Systems Framework, Lot 3. The contract was awarded to Access Paysuite Limited on 27 August 2026 for £135,683.43. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at 12:00. The stated procurement category is goods, with the requirement classified under CPV 48000000 for software packages and information systems. The award is active and covers the full electronic payment system requirement. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £135,683.43, in GBP. The process was a framework call-off rather than a new open-market tender.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award shows Worthing Borough Council buys a dedicated electronic payment system through a housing-sector framework route, at a scale suitable for a multi-year public-sector service. A credible competitor would need a proven electronic payments platform, dependable information-systems delivery and the ability to support council operations throughout a substantial contract term. Relevant strengths include experience implementing and maintaining payment systems for public bodies, secure and reliable transaction processing, service continuity, customer support and integration with the buyer’s operational systems. Suppliers should also be able to meet framework call-off requirements and demonstrate the organisational capacity expected of a large-scale provider. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that established businesses with public-sector delivery capability are well placed for this type of requirement.
