The end to end Payment Contingency service requires two separate components, these are: * LOT 1 - A service to reformat BACS payments into Faster Payments for onward submission into the Faster Payment infrastructure * LOT 2 - A Sponsor Bank for the settlement of funds with the Bank of England. DWP makes circa. 2.5m payments per day and pays over PS3.7bn per week.
