Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol has concluded a procurement process to appoint a single supplier for providing and maintaining a procurement card solution for purchasing goods and services. The contract was awarded to LLOYDS BANK PLC and falls under the banking services industry category (CPV 66110000). The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 4th September 2024 and the contract running from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2028. The location for delivery is the South West region of the United Kingdom, with a postal code of BS1 5DS. The procurement stage is complete, and the award date was 12th December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in banking services to expand their footprint in the public sector. As the contract involves a long-term commitment, it offers stability and the potential for continued business growth. Large-scale financial service providers would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the specific requirement for procurement card solutions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted for suitability, making it ideal for well-established companies with robust infrastructure.
