Summary of the contracting process

Northern Housing Consortium Limited procured electronic payment services for One Manchester, a housing organisation based in Manchester. The requirement covers the provision of a payment service supporting One Manchester’s operations, classified as financial and insurance services. Delivery is associated with Manchester, at postcode M15 5RN. The procurement was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s electronic payment services framework, linking the service to the housing sector and to a consortium-led purchasing arrangement. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are providers of electronic payment services with the operational capability to support a housing organisation’s payment activity across the contract scope.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 to allpay Ltd. The awarded contract value is £248,174. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using the Northern Housing Consortium’s Electronic Payment Services Framework rather than a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026. The award relates to one service requirement and one supplier; no separate lot awards are recorded. One Manchester appointed allpay Ltd as its electronic payment services provider for the two-year period. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows established demand from a Manchester housing organisation for a managed electronic payment service procured through a sector framework. It is commercially relevant to payment service providers that can support housing-sector payment operations reliably and at the required scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven electronic payments capability, dependable service delivery, suitable systems and controls, and the capacity to serve an organisation such as One Manchester throughout a multi-year arrangement. Experience of working with housing providers or public-sector buyers would help demonstrate fit with the operating environment. Suppliers that are eligible to participate in, or can access, relevant framework arrangements would also be better placed to compete through the same purchasing route.
