Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sanctuary Housing Association procured electronic payment services for its housing operations. The requirement is classified as banking services (CPV 66110000) and covers the processing and support of electronic payments. The work is associated with Hereford, England, at the HR1 3SE delivery location. Sanctuary Housing Association is based in Worcester and is the buying organisation. The selected service provider, Allpay Limited, is based in Hereford and operates as a large supplier. This is a specialist financial services requirement for businesses providing electronic payment infrastructure, transaction processing and related banking services to a housing association rather than a general goods or construction contract.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium Electronic Payment Services framework. The tender deadline was 1 August 2026 and the contract was awarded to Allpay Limited on 1 August 2026. The awarded value is £2.5 million. The wider estimated procurement range was £2.5 million to £4 million. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award is active.

This award shows sustained demand from Sanctuary Housing Association for outsourced electronic payment services delivered through a housing-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need established payment-processing capability, secure and reliable systems, operational capacity for a large housing organisation, and experience delivering services under a framework call-off. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that scale and specialist payment expertise matter for this requirement. Relevant businesses are likely to include established payment service providers, banking technology firms and financial services operators able to support transaction volumes, service continuity, customer and account administration, and the governance expected in public-sector housing services. Framework access and a demonstrable record in electronic payments would also strengthen a future proposition.
