Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

First Garden Cities Homes, based in Garden City, UK, appointed a provider for electronic payment services. The requirement covers financial services that enable electronic payments, supporting the organisation’s payment collection and processing needs. The service is classified under CPV 66000000, financial and insurance services, and is delivered for First Garden Cities Homes. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium, which manages the purchasing framework used for this requirement. The framework provides the route for housing organisations to access electronic payment services from appointed providers. This is a service opportunity for payment service providers with the systems, controls and operational capability to support a housing organisation’s electronic payment activity, rather than a requirement for physical works, goods or general financial advice.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Allpay Limited was selected as the supplier on 16 July 2026 for £64,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option to extend for two individual one-year periods. The procurement was a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Electronic Payment Services Framework, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026. First Garden Cities Homes is identified as the organisation receiving the service, while the Northern Housing Consortium is the framework buyer. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established housing-sector demand for outsourced electronic payment services through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven electronic payments platform, secure processing and reconciliation, reliable customer and account support, and the operational resilience to handle recurring payment activity for a housing provider. Experience serving social housing or other organisations with regular tenant or customer payments would strengthen the case, particularly where accurate allocation, reporting and service continuity are important. Suppliers should also be able to operate effectively within a framework environment and respond to a selective call-off process. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable, so relevant capability and delivery assurance matter more than organisational size alone.
