Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has concluded a contracting process for "Payment and reconciliation software - pay 360" under the CPV classification of software-related services. The procurement, managed through a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, was completed with an award worth £200,000. Key dates in this process include the tender period ending on 18 August 2025, the contract commencing on 1 September 2025, and concluding on 31 August 2028. The contracted work is to be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Chichester, with postal code PO19 1RQ. The procurement has reached the award stage as of 25 August 2025.

This contract offers notable growth opportunities, primarily for businesses involved in software-related services. The awarded supplier, Access Paysuite Ltd, which is an SME, indicates that similar companies with expertise in payment and reconciliation software might find future frameworks or agreements advantageous. Businesses looking to provide software solutions to local government entities in the United Kingdom could leverage this opportunity to strengthen their market position and expand their customer base. Though suitable for SMEs, the opportunity was not specifically targeted at small or voluntary and community sector enterprises, reflecting a moderate level of entry competition consistent with the selective procurement approach taken by West Sussex County Council.
