Government Banking sits within HMRC and is the banking shared service provider to Government and the wider public sector, providing banking services to over 650 organisations (hereafter referred to as "customers"). To deliver the direct-to-bank model and facilitate payments in and out of Government, Government Banking contracts with commercial banks. The current Money Transmission Service (MTS) contracts which facilitate this process are due to expire in March 2025. The purpose of this PIN is to: a) advise the banking industry that HMRC (on behalf of Government Banking) is considering undertaking a tendering exercise to award new contract(s) for the provision of MTS; b) request information from the market on available services and invite feedback on several key themes which are of interest to Government Banking as it considers the potential new tendering exercise; and c) invite potential providers to register for an upcoming market engagement exercise through HMRC's eSourcing system - using the instructions provided below. For the intentions of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) / Request for Information (RFI), HMRC Commercial, a directorate within HMRC that provides support as a cross-government shared service, is acting on behalf of Government Banking.

These service requirements may be delivered across multiple lots and any resulting contracts will be enabled for use by Government Banking customers including Government departments, executive agencies, non-departmental bodies, and the wider public sector (including the National Health Service). The market is invited to participate in market engagement and provide feedback primarily on the following key themes: * Industry Changes (including New Payments Architecture) * Open Banking / Overlay Services (e.g. Confirmation of Payee) * Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) * Cheque Image Clearing * Commercial cost model * Transition including Sort Code Porting * Security The market is invited to provide details of the types of services they can provide in order to assist with increasing our market knowledge by registering for access to the RFI as described in the Additional Information section and completing a Market Information Questionnaire. Additional information: HMRC invite interested parties to register using the guidance below. This requirement will be met by an eSourcing RfI using HMRC SAP Ariba. Please can you ensure you are registered with the HMRC SAP Ariba to gain access to the RfI documentation which will contain full details.
