UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust intends to procure BACS bureau support for supplier and payroll payments across participating NHS organisations in North West London. The service will support a wider programme to move multiple organisations onto a shared Oracle Fusion Cloud enterprise resource planning platform and shared-services model, with the aim of standardising payment processing. The requirement covers payment-processing services and related software or information systems. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s North West London Procurement Services is managing the procurement. The work is intended to serve the participating organisations as they transition to the common platform and operating model.

The procurement is at the planning stage. The buyer intends to develop a future competitive procurement after preliminary market engagement; this process does not invite tenders. The engagement is intended to inform the procurement and contracting strategy, identify suitable procurement routes and framework options, and explore commercial models and indicative pricing. The buyer expects the engagement milestone by 16 October 2026. The planned contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with a possible extension to 31 January 2030. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. The requirement is arranged as one lot and is above the applicable threshold.

This requirement is likely to suit BACS payment-processing providers able to deliver supplier and payroll payment services across multiple NHS organisations. Suppliers with relevant experience serving multi-organisation arrangements will be well placed to contribute, particularly where they can explain their capacity to support a shared-services operating model. The buyer is seeking to understand how payment services can integrate technically with Oracle Fusion Cloud, so providers with experience of that platform or comparable ERP integrations should be positioned to discuss viable approaches. The engagement also seeks information on commercial models, indicative pricing structures, procurement routes and framework options. This is preparatory market engagement to shape a later competition, rather than a current bid opportunity; suppliers able to offer practical market insight on these areas are relevant.
