Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council concluded the award stage of a public procurement process titled "Provision of Payment Acceptance Services" on 25th November 2025, involving international payment transfer services. Categorised under services, this tender encapsulated electronic payment acceptance services intended for Dundee City Council and Leisure & Culture Dundee, situated in Dundee, Scotland. This procurement was carried out without a prior call for competition via a limited procurement method, and it fell outside the scope of the directive. Although initially a single lot was proposed, it was later cancelled, and an award was made directly to WorldPay UK acting as the supplier, with the contract valued at £200,000.

This contract offers opportunities for businesses specialising in financial services, particularly those that provide international payment solutions and possess a large operational scale. Organisations capable of fulfilling electronic payment service requirements would find this type of procurement beneficial to demonstrate their capabilities and expand their collaborations with public entities such as regional or local councils. While smaller enterprises and European bidders did not participate in this particular process, the engagement of large-scale, non-EU suppliers like WorldPay UK highlights the potential for international business ventures and collaborations in similar future procurement opportunities within the financial services sector.
