UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia procured payment services to enable it to receive student payments through its Tribal (SITS) system after a system upgrade. The requirement covers international payment transfers and transaction processing, supported by financial systems software and related implementation, development and support services. Delivery is for the University in Norwich, Norfolk. This is a focused university payments integration requirement: suppliers need to connect payment processing with the student system and support the resulting service.

The procurement is complete and Flywire Payments Limited was selected and awarded the contract. The University used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 9 June 2027. Its value is £180,000 including VAT. The process was arranged as a single lot. The published procurement information gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria; the direct award route means there was no competitive evaluation described.

This award demonstrates demand at the University of East Anglia for a specialist service linking international student payments with Tribal (SITS), including payment transfers, transaction processing and financial software implementation and support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability integrating payment services with student administration systems, handling international transactions and providing reliable software support. Experience delivering similar integrations for higher education institutions would be relevant, alongside the technical capacity to implement a joined-up payment service for the university. The work is a defined institutional service rather than a broad campus technology programme; suppliers focused on payment platforms, cross-border payments and associated systems integration are the closest fit.
