## Summary

The CPS organisation in London has awarded a contract for the Provision of BACS and Cheque Payment Services to Arvato LTD. The procurement stage was a competitive quotation process below the threshold, with a contract value of £192,462 GBP. The tender period ended on July 19, 2023, and the contract is valid from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2026. This opportunity falls under the services industry category.

This tender for BACS and Cheque Payment Services by CPS provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in financial and insurance services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete in this limited procurement process, offering financial transactional processing services. The contract period spans three years, potentially allowing for long-term business growth and stability in the sector.

## Notice

CPS has a requirement to pay suppliers, witness expenses and some other expenses directly. This is via BACS where a bank account exists and by cheque where a bank account does not exist. The requirement for such a facility remains as an ongoing need and a new procurement is necessary as CPS does not have the in-house capability. The solution must provide a financial transactional processing for BACS and Cheque printing services via a BACS approved commercial Bureau as set out below: BACS indirect submitter - provide a Bureau service to allow the Authority to submit payment data files on a daily basis, which must be processed completely by the Supplier on the same working day. Cheque printing service - where no bank account exists for any payee, the Supplier must be able to provide a cheque printing service. Remittance dispatch service - when payment is made by printed cheque and no email address is provided, a printed remittance must be produced and dispatched with the printed cheque.
