## Summary

The recent procurement process led by Leeds City Council involved the awarding of a contract for "Merchant Acquiring Services" under Lot 2 of the CCS Framework RM6325, pertaining to financial transaction processing and clearing-house services. The procurement was targeted at the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. Classified under the services category, this procurement was conducted through a direct award, bypassing the traditional competitive tendering process. The contract, valued at approximately £1,370,570.82, was officially awarded on 15th September 2025 to Worldpay (UK) Limited, a large-scale supplier, and spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having successfully concluded.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses that offer complementary financial services or products, especially those interested in providing acquirer and merchant equipment services. Although this particular tender resulted from a direct award, businesses in the financial and payment processing sectors could explore potential for collaboration or subcontracting with Worldpay (UK) Limited or prepare for future opportunities with public sector entities like Leeds City Council. While the current tender was not specifically targeted towards SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), such organisations may nevertheless find indirect avenues for growth through partnerships or service enhancement opportunities arising from the execution of this contract.
