## Summary

The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is currently inviting suppliers to participate in a tender for the provision of Prepaid Card Accounts. This opportunity falls under the financial services industry and is based in the UK, specifically from NEPO's headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne. The tender, titled "NEPO505 PROVISION OF PREPAID CARD ACCOUNTS," was published on 31 August 2016 and is being conducted through an open procurement method. The tender period has ended, with a contract period starting on 9 January 2018 and concluding on 8 January 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £24,000,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial services, particularly those that can provide innovative prepaid card solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly relevant, given NEPO's criteria promoting SME participation. Companies with expertise in cash management solutions, budgeting tools, and financial technology will be well-suited to compete, offering their services to support various contracting authorities in managing social and health care-related expenditures effectively.

## Notice

The North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is inviting responses from suppliers for the provision of Prepaid Card Accounts allowing Contracting Authorities an alternative method to manage their cash disbursements and budget monitoring. Prepaid Card Accounts will operate similar to a standard UK Bank Account, including the option to withdraw cash from an ATM, make regular payments, pay vendors and receive regular statements. Prepaid Card Accounts do not have an accessible overdraft facility. Prepaid Cards operate much in the same way as standard Debit Card whereby funds will be preloaded by Contracting Authorities and used by the Cardholder until the balance is exhausted. It is anticipated that Contracting Authorities will primarily use Prepaid Card Accounts for Social/Health Care related Direct Payments and for the management of Corporate Expenses. This is not exhaustive and Contracting Authorities may require the Prepaid Card Accounts for additional related services.
