Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council has completed the procurement process for "Clean Air Zone - Gocardless," focusing on banking services within the North East of the United Kingdom. This tender, carried out under a limited procurement method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, was a directive from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) via the Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU). The contract, awarded to Gocardless, commenced on 1st September 2024 and will continue until 31st August 2027.

This tender represents an opportunity for large-scale businesses specialising in banking services and direct debit payments to establish a significant role in supporting public sector initiatives. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find this particular contract less suitable given the procurement method and expertise required, organisations with experience in similar government-mandated services could use this partnership to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts within the public sector.
