Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London & Quadrant Housing Trust procured procurement cards: financial cards used to support the organisation’s purchasing activity. The requirement is classified as a credit-granting service, with financial and insurance services as an additional category. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is London & Quadrant Housing Trust, a public-law housing organisation based in London. The requirement is national in operational reach rather than limited to a single site, so relevant suppliers would need to support procurement-card services across the Trust’s geographically distributed activity. The scope is focused on providing the cards, rather than on general banking or broader housing services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure: a direct award without a prior call for competition, made compliantly through a framework. The award rationale states that the procurement was outside the scope of the directive. The requirement was evaluated on cost alone. Barclays Bank was awarded the contract on 31 July 2026. The active contract is valued at £3,000,000. The published outcome records one bid and one awarded supplier. The requirement was organised as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, and the available outcome information identifies no separate contract end date or duration.

This award indicates established demand from a major housing organisation for procurement-card provision across England, at a scale requiring a substantial financial-services operator rather than a small card programme. Suppliers competing when this requirement next returns would need to provide reliable procurement-card infrastructure, credit facilities and account administration, with the operational capacity to support users and purchasing activity across multiple English regions. Experience delivering comparable corporate or public-sector card services would help demonstrate credibility. The evaluation was based solely on cost, so a future competitor would need a commercially competitive pricing model as well as robust service delivery. The direct award was made through a framework, making relevant framework access and the ability to satisfy framework terms important routes to this buyer.
