## Summary

King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council appointed an electronic payment services provider for its council payment requirements. The work is financial services, delivered for the Council in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. The service is procured through the Northern Housing Consortium’s electronic payment services framework, with the Council using that framework to select a provider. The contract description identifies a two-year service term and an option to extend by a further two years. This is a defined electronic payments requirement for a local authority, rather than a general financial services commission. The award names allpay Ltd as the provider.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to allpay Ltd on 26 October 2026. The award value is £43,133.38. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with an option to extend for up to a further two years. The Council used a selective, framework call-off procedure under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Electronic Payment Services Framework. This was not a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 26 October 2026. The published data records the award and supplier but gives no separate scoring or weighting for evaluation, so the basis for choosing allpay beyond the framework call-off is not described.

This award shows that King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council buys electronic payment services through a framework, making framework access and experience with call-off competitions important for suppliers seeking comparable work. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver reliable payment services for a local authority and support the Council’s payment requirements throughout a multi-year service term, including any extension. The award went to allpay Ltd, a large supplier, indicating that the selected provider had the capacity to meet this requirement; the procurement does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations or service volumes. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the requirement was not formally limited to large businesses. Small providers may need suitable delivery capacity or partners.
