Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart is procuring an electronic payment system service from one experienced and capable contractor. The service will provide customers with simpler and more secure ways to make payments, replacing or improving access through existing routes such as cheques, pay points, telephone payments, payment providers and the Midland Heart App. The requirement is a banking service and falls within the services category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, including the West Midlands. Midland Heart, a public undertaking based in Birmingham, is the buying organisation. The service must support Midland Heart’s customer payment operations and enable the organisation to maintain its existing PCI compliance while introducing enhanced electronic payment technology.

The procurement has reached tender: Midland Heart invited offers through an open procedure. Bidders could submit questions until 24 August 2026 at 12:00, and responses were due by 31 August 2026 at 12:00. Offers were to be submitted electronically through the Atamis Supplier Portal in English. The single contract is valued at £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions available, allowing continuation to 31 October 2031. Evaluation is split equally between price and quality: 50% for the commercial pricing response and 50% for answers to quality questions. The expected award decision date was 31 October 2026. Payment terms are 30 days.

This opportunity suits payment technology providers, banking service businesses and specialist electronic payment contractors with proven experience delivering secure customer payment solutions. Suppliers should be able to design or operate payment channels that are straightforward for customers to use while supporting multiple access routes and modern digital services. Strong information security and compliance capability is important because the solution must allow Midland Heart to maintain PCI compliance. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist providers as well as larger payment service organisations. Competitors should be able to demonstrate the technical capability, operational capacity and relevant delivery experience needed to support customer payment transactions across the United Kingdom, together with the ability to respond clearly to quality questions and provide a competitive pricing schedule.
