## Summary

The Northern Procurement Group Limited has recently established a Framework Agreement titled "Cashless Payment Systems and Associated Supplies and Services" aimed at meeting the diverse needs of the public sector across the United Kingdom. This procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the contract period set to commence on 17th July 2017 and concluding on 16th July 2021.
