Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions has completed a procurement process titled "Synergy Banking Intermediary - Confirmation of Payee" for a software product under the industry specific software package category (CPV code 48100000). This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted via a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the CCS G-Cloud 14 RM1557.14 - Lot 2 Cloud Software Framework. The procurement has reached the award stage, with a contract awarded to Bottomline Payment Services Ltd for a total value of £14,000 GBP. The contract commences on 2nd February 2026 and ends on 1st February 2027, with service delivery within the United Kingdom, particularly to the address postal code SW1H 9NA. This opportunity was particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although not exclusively for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in the development and provision of industry-specific software solutions, particularly those offering cloud technologies. SMEs that are agile in adapting to cloud services and frameworks would have been well-suited for this opportunity to offer Confirmation of Payee services, potentially securing a substantial contract with the Department for Work and Pensions. This process underscores the importance of aligning with frameworks like the CCS G-Cloud to access public sector procurement opportunities, signalling a promising avenue for sector-specific software developers seeking to grow their clientele and business footprint within government departments.
