## Summary

Thurrock Borough Council, based in Grays, UK, has recently completed the procurement of Electronic Payment Services. The contract, valued at £146,733 and classified under the 'Financial and insurance services' industry category, was awarded to allpay Ltd through a call-off from a framework agreement managed by the Northern Housing Consortium Limited. The procurement process, now at the Award stage, began with a tender that closed on 13th May 2025, with the subsequent contract set to run from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2027, and possessing an option to extend for another two years. The contract supports both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), promoting inclusivity in public sector contracts.

This contract presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in financial services, particularly those offering electronic payment solutions. The use of a selective procurement method indicates that pre-qualified suppliers had an advantage, benefiting those previously listed under the framework agreement. Large-scale suppliers like allpay Ltd have demonstrated their capacity to secure such contracts, but smaller firms, especially those meeting suitability criteria for SMEs or VCSEs, can strategically position themselves for future opportunities by engaging with consortiums like the Northern Housing Consortium. The focus on financial and insurance services suggests that firms offering innovative, secure, and cost-effective payment solutions may find growth potential in similar public sector contracts.
