Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has completed the procurement process for the title "BACS Processing 2026-2030," focusing on securing business services, specifically BACS payment processing, facilitated by a third party. This award, part of the Business Services industry, addresses the regional need in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement process used a direct award method with a completed tender status, officially moving into the Award stage, announced on the 28th of July, 2026. The contract with Barnsley MBC as the supplier will commence on the 1st of October, 2026, and conclude on the 30th of September, 2030, with a total value of GBP 70,000.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses proficient in secure payment processing services, particularly those with a strong capacity for handling large-scale contracts over extended periods. It suits larger enterprises that can ensure the reliable and secure management of BACS payment facilities, although opportunities for SMEs and VCSE organisations are less evident. Companies with a specialization in business services, particularly in law, marketing, consulting, and security, may find such tenders conducive to expanding their footprint within the public procurement sector. The direct award method indicates a preference for experienced suppliers with established service delivery capabilities.
