The process includes engaging with market operators to assess market suitability, understand available services, and identify innovations for cash disbursement. Interested parties can attend a pre-market engagement event scheduled for 2 August 2023. DWP is considering a service proposition that involves regulatory standards compliance and collaboration with other government departments. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing banking services, financial consultancy, and administration services to participate in a potential future procurement. Small and medium enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations are encouraged to engage. The engagement deadline is 31 March 2024. Businesses interested in this tender should consider the regulatory standards expected by DWP and the collaborative nature of the service proposition. ## Notice The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of a potential future exercise to procure services supporting national UK & NI cash disbursement. This PIN is to seek insight from market operators to assess market suitability, support DWP's understanding of the available services, and identify market innovations that support cash disbursement to unbanked citizens. We invite market operators to attend a pre-market engagement event planned for 2/8/2023. This will be recorded and can be viewed by market operators unable to attend the live event (available until 20/8/23). In addition, we would like to offer interested parties a follow up 1-1 session to allow market operators to provide further insight to DWP. If operators are interested, in a 1-1 session please notify DWP through the provided address, this option again can be considered at a later date (until 25/8/23) once market operators have viewed the recorded event. A further Prior Information Notice may be issued should DWP proceed to a procurement, however market operators should be aware DWP is not committed to or guarantees a procurement at this stage. DWP reserves the right to withdraw or amend the intentions of this Prior Information Notice at any time. Any costs incurred in attending the pre-market engagement or 1-1 sessions will be borne by the market operator. DWP is considering at this time a service proposition that includes DWP alongside other government departments including Department for Communities. The service most would likely need to be assured to regulatory standards, including Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and all payment industry standards. Additional information: DWP would like to invite representatives from organisations to attend a presentation which provides information on the potential service and expectations of DWP. This presentation will be recorded and can be viewed by market operators unable to attend the live event until 20/8/23. DWP would like to offer interested parties a follow up 1-1 session (up to 25/8/23) to allow market operators to provide further insight to DWP. If operators are interested, please notify this is the case through the provided contact details. To register your interest for the event on 2/08/23, please contact by email: michael.gaynor1@dwp.gov.uk before 13:00 hours on 28/07/2023. Following registration of interest, we will follow up with event details closer to the date sent to the registered email. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abdc6140-3b51-49bc-ba0c-d03e69f70144 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS | | Locality | BLACKPOOL | | Post town | Blackpool | | Postcode | FY4 5ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD42 Blackpool | | Local authority | Blackpool | | Electoral ward | Stanley | | Westminster constituency | Blackpool South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 66110000 - Banking services - 66170000 - Financial consultancy, financial transaction processing and clearing-house services - 75100000 - Administration services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2023 at 13:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abdc6140-3b51-49bc-ba0c-d03e69f70144 - 20 Jul 2023 at 15:40 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/677ff3f6-b87b-4ecd-a041-8bf12561c0dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abdc6140-3b51-49bc-ba0c-d03e69f70144 24th July 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/677ff3f6-b87b-4ecd-a041-8bf12561c0dd 20th July 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
