Notice Title
Unity BACS Services
Notice Description
Provision of BACS approved bureau services to enable all clients under the Department for Transport umbrella to send critical payments and collect revenues and process Direct Debit and Direct Credit related reports using BACS approved software.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Provision of BACS approved bureau services to enable all clients under the Department for Transport umbrella to send critical payments and collect revenues and process Direct Debit and Direct Credit related reports using BACS approved software.
Options: This contract is for 2 years with an optional 12-month extension period.
Procurement Information
This is a low value, below-threshold procurement. Unity cluster BACS solution delayed so continuity of service required. Costs of switching supplier and modifying existing SFTP link with ERP Supplier at this moment in time would exceed this contract value (not VfM). Also would be a highly complex exercise, risking DfT not being able to send/receive critical payments.
