## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Wealden District Council sought the provision of Merchant Services under Lot 3 of the CPRAS Financial Services and Payments Framework, with Lloyds Bank PLC appointed as the supplier. This contract falls under the financial transaction processing and clearing-house services category and is set in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Using a selective procurement method via a framework agreement, the contract period extends from 3rd December 2025 to 2nd December 2030. The award phase is currently active, and a significant tender value of £535,955 in British Pounds was confirmed, illustrating the Council's commitment to securing essential financial services for their operations.

This tender offers a robust opportunity for businesses in the financial services sector, specifically those involved in financial transaction processing, to engage in a stable and long-term collaboration with a local government body. While the contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, similar opportunities could be advantageous for well-established companies with the capability to support complex financial frameworks and handle substantial transaction volumes efficiently. Enterprises with existing framework agreements stand a strong chance of tapping into such opportunities in the future, potentially fostering substantial growth within the larger ecosystem of public procurement contracts.
