Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process overseen by Registers of Scotland, a regional agency, involves the award of a contract titled "Payment Acceptance Service." This contract pertains to transaction-processing software packages within the goods industry category. Located at Meadowbank House, 153 London Road, Edinburgh, EH8 7AU, the procurement process has been completed with an award tagged as "contract" and dated 17th March 2026. The process employed a limited procurement method, which proceeded without prior publication due to no bids being received under the existing CCS Payment Acceptance 2 framework as of December 2025.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transaction-processing software and related support services. Given the procurement method, large-scale companies like Stripe Payments Europe, Limited, the current contract recipient, could benefit from ongoing involvement in similar future tenders.
