Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Northern Housing Consortium Limited, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, engaging in the contracting of an Electronic Payment Services provider under a framework agreement. The tender, titled "Electronic Payment Services Feb26 - NHS Business Services Authority," focuses on financial and insurance services. This selective procurement process has reached the award update stage, with the latest contract awarded to allpay Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Herefordshire, on January 29, 2026. The contract period begins on February 13, 2026, and ends on February 12, 2028, and has a potential value of up to £2,781,000, with suitability specified for large businesses rather than SMEs or VCSEs.

The 24-month contract, with the possibility of extending for two additional one-year periods, offers substantial business growth potential for suppliers able to meet the operational demands of the Northern Housing Consortium. Businesses with robust financial service capabilities and a large operational scale are well-suited to compete, leveraging the opportunity for a substantial role in managing the Direct Debit Bureau service across multiple service areas.
