The procurement process in question involves the University of Dundee, which has awarded a contract titled "E-Payment Services Agreement" in the services industry category. This agreement, categorised under financial transaction processing and clearing-house services (CPV 66172000), is intended to ensure the continuity of cashless processes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the decision based on the established relationship with the supplier, WPM Education Ltd.

The University of Dundee's reliance on a previous supplier suggests a potential for businesses to establish long-term relationships within the public sector, which can be advantageous for sustained growth.

Procurement Information

UoD are currently utilising systems that include integrations with the well-established supplier, WPM, who have been embedded with the student journey for the past 9 years. It is vital to ensure consistency for income collection and integrations ensuring applicants and students are not impacted, particularly as we are reliant on cashless processes as a direct result of COVID-19. Therefore, the decision was made to renew the contract with WPM for 3+2 years.
