Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, spearheaded by Croydon Council, culminated in the award of the BACs Payment Support Services contract to Bottomline Technologies Limited. This contract, within the software package and information systems industry category (CPV code 48000000), involves the supply of BACs payment system software and support services for a three-year period, starting from 15 June 2026 to 14 June 2029. Located in London, the procurement process employed a direct single tender action below threshold procurement method, with the award published on 22 June 2026, following the tender's closure on 19 March 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software and payment systems, particularly those supporting enterprise-level solutions. With Croydon Council recognising the suitability of SMEs and VCSEs, smaller businesses, especially those with a track record in financial software services, may find similar future tenders advantageous for strategic growth. Engaging with such public sector clients could enhance market presence and lead to further opportunities in governmental procurement contracts.
