## Summary

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) procured Bacs payments and collections software and services, titled PTX Bacs payments software. The requirement is for software supporting Bacs payment and collection activity; the procurement is classified as software and information systems (CPV 48000000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a cloud-software call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, covering its cloud software lot. The SIA is the buyer. The requirement is specifically for Bacs payment and collection capability, rather than a broad IT or general software requirement.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The SIA selected Bottomline Technologies Limited following a shortlist exercise under a selective framework call-off procedure. The award date was 19 August 2026. The initial two-year contract was valued at £36,726.72 including VAT; an optional extension of up to 12 months is included, giving a maximum three-year call-off value of £55,090.08 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The response deadline was 15 June 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award confirms demand from the Security Industry Authority for cloud software and services that support Bacs payments and collections. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate a software solution capable of handling the buyer’s Bacs payment and collection processes, together with the ability to deliver and support it as a cloud service. The route used here was a shortlist call-off through the G-Cloud 14 cloud software framework, so suppliers seeking similar public-sector work would need to be appropriately positioned to compete through that framework route. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller software providers may be relevant competitors as well as larger suppliers. The awarded supplier was a large company.
