UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield procured purchasing card services for Enfield Council. The cards provide an alternative payment mechanism for low-value and ad hoc purchases where it is not appropriate or practical to use the council’s Neptune system. They do not replace the council’s standard procurement processes. The requirement is categorised as banking services and delivery is for the council in Enfield, London. This is a public-sector financial services requirement focused on enabling controlled payment for smaller or occasional purchases, rather than a general replacement for the council’s main purchasing arrangements. Businesses with relevant purchasing card, corporate card or associated banking service capabilities would find the subject matter most closely aligned with their activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Soldo Software Ltd was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 October 2028. Its value is £34,000 excluding VAT, or £40,800 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore conducted within a direct-award route rather than through a competitive tender. The purchasing card arrangement is limited to the alternative payment use described above, supporting low-value and ad hoc expenditure where the Neptune system is unsuitable or impractical.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Enfield Council for a managed purchasing card or comparable corporate payment service that can support controlled, low-value and ad hoc public-sector spending. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable banking or payment infrastructure, issue and manage purchasing cards, and support the council’s requirement for an alternative route rather than a replacement for standard procurement. Relevant capability includes handling account controls, transaction oversight and appropriate administration for a local authority environment. Suppliers should be able to show that their service can operate alongside an existing purchasing system and restrict use to defined circumstances. Experience delivering purchasing card or corporate payment services to public bodies would strengthen a competing proposition.
