Summary of the contracting process

Eastbourne Borough Council has completed a procurement process for Bill Payments Services, specifically focusing on electronic payments services within the treasury services category. The process, carried out under a framework agreement without prior publication, was managed as a direct award for Lot 1 Multiple Network Managed Services. Despite the award process being categorised as limited, two contracts were successfully awarded to Allpay Ltd, with both contracts signed on 1st March 2026 and located in the region of UKJ22. The total value of the contracts amounts to £68,000, reinforcing the council's commitment to efficient public service delivery.

Organisations similar to Allpay Ltd, with the capacity to manage large-scale transactions and offer innovative treasury management solutions, are well-suited for such frameworks. Additionally, enterprises with an existing track record or those looking to expand their offerings in financial and digital payment services within the UK region can significantly benefit from engaging in such procurement opportunities. The focus on established frameworks highlights the importance of maintaining strong local authority connections and being responsive to specific procedural requirements.
