The procurement process is organised by West Sussex County Council for a Cloud-based payment platform titled "PTX Payment Platform to Support New Oracle Arrangements." The contracting falls under the "Information Technology Services" category, with delivery expected in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Currently at the award stage, Bottomline Technologies Ltd has been selected as the supplier, with the contract valued at £132,867.92.
