South Lanarkshire Council has concluded a public procurement process titled "Direct Award for Electronic Payment Services under PfH Electronic Payment Systems," classified under general public services. The procurement, completed without prior publication of a call for competition, was facilitated through the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Electronic Payment Systems Framework’s Lot 1, focusing on multiple network managed services. The contract, active since 1st September 2025, covers payment processing services for Council Tax, NDR, sundry invoices, and rent payment via PayPoint and Post Office facilities, primarily in the UKM95 region. This procurement process, valued at £386,080, emphasises services as its main category and falls under the limited procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electronic payment services, particularly those with capabilities to manage large-scale payment processing networks. Although the award was made directly to allpay Limited, it showcases potential market interest for innovative service providers capable of leveraging similar framework agreements. Businesses with expertise in solutions tailored for public sector financial operations, such as handling council tax and sundry payments, stand to benefit from understanding the procedural framework and niches within this sector.
