This PIN is to invite potential bidders to an event online taking place 31 March 2020.

Lot Information

Lot 1

There are currently multiple ways of making and taking payments across government and the public sector. This leads to duplication of effort and spend, and by default a confused landscape for both citizens and government. The Payments programme is seeking to design and deliver a continually-improving, shared payments service that has the potential to evolve over the longer term. This will process outbound payments and provide a trustable transactional history that interfaces with public sector organisations' financial services - it will consider inbound payments in the longer term, but not during the next development phase. It will be user-centred, organisationally agnostic, secure, scalable and built using flexible, component-based technology. Having undertaken a Discovery and Alpha phase, the programme is now looking to procure a partner, or consortium, to deliver the Beta phase of development. In place of the bidder day originally planned for 24 March 2020, in CivTech, Edinburgh, we shall be hosting the event online on 31 March 2020. The attendance will no longer be limited to two individuals per organisation - details on how to attend will be sent out to our mailing list. To ensure your place at our online bidder day please email: SGPaymentService@gov.scot The day will cover the following areas: - Strategic context and drivers for the programme, and the future service - User research and service design - Architecture - Known constraints, dependencies and risks - Outcome based requirements for beta and live service - Opportunity for potential bidders to ask Scottish Government Subject Matter Experts questions in an open forum - Expected procurement and programme timings
