## Summary

Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has initiated an open procurement process for the provision of Cheque Printing and Pay-out services, titled "FSCS499 Cheque Printing and Pay-out Service". The procurement involves appointing a primary and a secondary service provider to ensure statutory timelines are met under various circumstances. This tender falls under the Printing and Distribution Services industry and covers broad locations including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Europe, and others. The procurement stage is currently active with the tender period ending on 27th January 2025, and the contract period running from 8th April 2025 to 7th April 2028. The estimated contract value ranges from £100,000 to £500,000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in printing services and payment solutions to secure a significant contract with a reputable organisation like FSCS. Companies that have the capacity to handle large-scale cheque printing and distribution, and can offer reliable support in meeting tight statutory deadlines, are well-suited for this opportunity. Additionally, those that can act swiftly in case of capacity issues or defaults by the primary provider will be valued. This tender is particularly suitable for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) due to the suitability criteria set by FSCS.

## Notice

FSCS is seeking to appoint two single Service Providers for the provision of Cheque Printing and Pay-out services. FSCS would seek to appoint a preferred/primary service provider (winning bid) and a secondary Service Provider (second placed bid ranked based on outcome of tender evaluation). The Secondary Provider would be able to provide services in the event any of the following circumstances apply: (i) Preferred Service Provider does not have enough capacity to execute a Payment Services Order to meet FSCS statutory timescales (ii) in the event of a major default(s) where FSCS at its discretion opts to use both suppliers in order to increase its chances of meeting statutory timelines.
