Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured council payment system software for use in Dundee. The requirement is for software and information systems supporting council payments. It is a goods procurement, delivered in Dundee, with the council as the buyer. The contract was awarded to Access Paysuite Ltd. This is a council-specific payment-system requirement, rather than a general software or information-systems purchase; suppliers whose products and services address local-authority payment operations are the closest match.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Dundee City Council awarded the contract to Access Paysuite Ltd through a direct award under the Crown Commercial Service G Cloud 14 framework, without a separate competition. The award was made on 26 June 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract value is £63,000. The procurement was organised as one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, while the overall tender is complete and the award and contract are active. The award criterion was price. One bid was recorded for the lot.

For suppliers aiming to compete for this buyer’s future council payment-system requirement, the awarded purchase is evidence of demand for payment software suited to local-authority use. A credible competitor would need a relevant, deployable payment-system product and the capacity to support its operation for a public-sector customer. The award went to a supplier through the G Cloud 14 framework’s direct-award route, so framework eligibility and a solution that can be procured under the applicable framework terms are commercially relevant. Price was the stated award basis; suppliers should therefore be able to offer a competitive price for the required software. The single recorded bid came from outside the EU, showing that the supplier selected was not necessarily UK-based.
