Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has completed the procurement process titled "NCC1436 Card Processing Facility," classified under business transaction and personal business software packages. The procurement, in the "award" stage, was conducted via a direct award method. It concerns the card processing charges to run parallel with the current Pay360 contract. With an award date of 27th October 2025, the contract commences on 1st November 2025 and concludes on 31st March 2027. The contract, with a value of £346,450.39, will be delivered within the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of business transaction software packages. However, as the direct award has been granted to Capita Business Services Limited, opportunities for SMEs in this instance were limited. Large-scale enterprises with established operations and a focus on providing robust, scalable software solutions in the financial sector would have been well-suited for addressing such requirements in future tender opportunities.
