Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashfield District Council is procuring a PayPoint and Post Office transactions system: software and information systems to support payment transactions. The requirement was awarded through Lot 1 of the PfH electronic payment systems framework. Nottinghamshire County Council is the buyer. Delivery is stated for England. The procurement category is goods, although the requirement itself is a payment system rather than a physical product. This is a council-specific requirement for handling transactions through PayPoint and Post Office channels, so it is relevant to suppliers of payment platforms and associated transaction-processing systems.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Access Paysuite Ltd by direct award through the PfH electronic payment systems framework. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the awarded value is £270,000. The tender’s stated contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028; the award record gives an end date of 31 October 2028. The award is active. The stated evaluation basis is the framework route and direct award; no further award criteria are set out in the available process details. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not divided into separately described lots in this process; the reference to Lot 1 is the framework lot through which it was awarded.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Nottinghamshire County Council’s demand for a payment system supporting transactions through PayPoint and Post Office channels. A credible competitor would need to provide a dependable transaction-processing platform suited to those payment networks, and demonstrate that it can support the council’s operational requirements. The chosen supplier was an established payment-services company, indicating that relevant sector experience and the ability to deliver a proven system are commercially important. The requirement was purchased through an electronic payment systems framework by direct award, so suppliers seeking similar council work would benefit from an appropriate framework position as well as a solution that meets the council’s specific channel and service needs. The procurement was classed as suitable for SMEs, making this type of requirement potentially relevant to smaller payment-system providers.
