Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has successfully completed the procurement process for its 'Payment Services - Prepaid Cards' contract. This contract falls under the 'services' category, specifically focusing on housing and community amenities. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure, aligning with the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM3828 Payment Services Lot 2. The contract, which was signed on 1st June 2020, is currently valued at £180,000 and is designed to meet the Council's requirements for prepaid card services in Fife.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in payment solutions, particularly those experienced in providing prepaid card services. Given that only two bids were submitted for Lot 1, there is a significant chance for smaller or agile service providers to compete effectively. Companies offering innovative financial technologies or those with a solid background in community-focused payment solutions would be well-positioned to explore similar contracts with public sector organisations like Fife Council in the future.
