## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council is conducting a procurement process for the "Island Card" in the services sector, specifically within the smart cards industry. The tender period concluded on 1st September 2020, and the awarded contract, valued at £22,400, began on 18th September 2020 and will run until 18th September 2023. The project takes place in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Miconex was awarded the contract as the only supplier of town and city gift card programmes in the UK, employing a distinctive prepaid Mastercard network to facilitate local economic activity.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in digital payment solutions or locality-driven services. Businesses that can offer innovation in gift card systems or contribute to economic regeneration initiatives in town centres would be particularly well-suited to compete for future tenders within this context, enhancing local commerce and community engagement.
