Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Albans City and District Council procured internet payment services software to enable online payments. The requirement is for software and associated internet payment services, rather than general IT provision. Delivery is for the Council in the South East of England. The service is aimed at suppliers able to provide a suitable payment software solution to a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Access Paysuite Ltd through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 14 September 2026. The awarded value is £236,220. The contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2029. The tender deadline was 9 September 2026. The requirement was classed as a services procurement, and small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority requirement for internet payment software and services, delivered under a three-year contract. Suppliers competing for a future requirement from St Albans City and District Council would need to show that their software can support reliable online payment services and is suitable for council use. The procurement was placed through a framework call-off, so relevant framework appointment and the ability to compete in that route would be commercially important. The Council considered SMEs suitable, indicating that this type of requirement was not restricted to large suppliers. The selected supplier was Access Paysuite Ltd; a credible competitor would need to evidence comparable payment-software capability and service delivery for a public-sector customer.
