Summary of the contracting process

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is conducting a procurement process for a new "Payments Platform" to facilitate BACS Payments, Direct Debits, and Paperless DD Sign Ups. The current system is due to be phased out by September 2020, making it essential to have the new platform operational by the end of July 2020. The tender was released on 11th October 2019, with the deadline for expressions of interest set for 1st November 2019 and submissions due by 8th November 2019. The evaluation is scheduled for the week commencing 11th November, with interviews to take place on 20th November, followed by the appointment of the contractor in the last week of November. This procurement falls under the goods category and is being conducted through an open procedure, with a contract value of £15,000.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in financial systems software and similar technologies. Companies that provide innovative payment solutions and can demonstrate compliance with the requirements outlined by the council would be well-positioned to compete. The successful implementation of a new payments platform will not only benefit the council by improving operational efficiency but also allow participating businesses to expand their clientele within the public sector.
