Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton is procuring a prepaid debit card service for people using its adult and children’s social care services. The requirement is to provide service users with prepaid cards, enabling card-based access to funds associated with their care. This is a financial service rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. Delivery is in England, for the borough’s social care services. The buyer is Sutton Council. The service covers both adult and children’s social care, so suppliers need to support the needs of service users across these care settings.

The buyer invited offers through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline set was 29 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The stated contract value is £140,000. The requirement is a single service opportunity covering adult and children’s social care; no separate lots are described. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to bid. The procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or a separate enquiry deadline, so bidders should consult the procurement particulars for the requirements governing their offers.

This opportunity is suited to providers of prepaid payment cards and related financial services, particularly smaller suppliers able to deliver a service for a local authority. A credible bidder would need to issue and administer prepaid debit cards for adult and children’s social care users, and support the council in delivering a reliable service across both areas. Relevant strengths include experience with card programmes for vulnerable or supported users, secure payment processing, effective account and transaction controls, and accessible customer support. Suppliers should be able to manage a service covering a borough-wide user population and coordinate with social care teams. The requirement may suit a specialist card provider or a financial services business with established card-issuing and programme-management capability.
