Summary of the contracting process

Stoke on Trent City Council, operating under the logistical support of the Northern Housing Consortium Limited based in Sunderland, has completed the process of awarding a contract for Electronic Payment Services. The procurement is categorised under financial and insurance services (CPV 66000000) and covers the location with the postcode ST4 1RN. The contract was awarded to Allpay Ltd on 9th March 2026, with the engagement set to commence on 1st April 2026 and slated to conclude on 31st March 2028, with an option for extension. This procurement was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The total contract value is GBP 210,092.40.

The successful appointment of Allpay Ltd as the service provider illustrates the opportunity for businesses offering financial services and payment solutions, particularly those already engaged with framework agreements, to secure collaborations with local councils and consortiums. This can lead to increased business growth and market visibility. The project encourages participation from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting that businesses in these categories are well-suited to engage in such procurement activities, positioning themselves for future opportunities within the framework and beyond.
