Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham is procuring banking services to support its Client Property and Money Management Service. The requirement covers banking arrangements for managing clients’ property and money. It is a services contract for banking services, classified under CPV 66110000. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Lewisham, London. The opportunity is therefore aimed at banks and specialist financial service providers able to support public-sector client-money management, compatible banking systems and the associated operational requirements. Suppliers should assess whether they can provide a fully tested, functioning banking service that integrates effectively with the Council’s technical and compatibility requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a two-stage competitive procedure, using an open competition. Stage 1 is the ITT/PSQ process, with the updated submission deadline set for 17:00 on 25 August 2026. Enquiries close at 12:00 on 18 August 2026. The Council intends to issue the stage-two tender on 1 September 2026, with stage-two clarifications due by 12:00 on 8 September 2026. The contract is estimated to run from 11 January 2027 to 10 January 2031, with a discretionary four-year extension available until 10 January 2035. Estimated value is £175,000 excluding VAT and £210,000 including VAT. Evaluation combines independent scoring, moderated assessment, clarification rights and compliance requirements.

This opportunity suits banking providers with demonstrable technical ability to deliver a fully tested and functioning service for client property and money management. Compatibility is a specific requirement, so suppliers should be able to show that their systems and interfaces work reliably with the Council’s operational and technical environment. The contract also suits organisations with the capacity to provide continuity of banking support over an initial four-year period and, if required, a further four years. Providers familiar with public-sector procurement and regulated banking operations may be well placed to address the Council’s compliance requirements and transparent evaluation process. Businesses should be prepared to confirm their technical capability during the first stage before progressing to the second-stage tender.
