## Summary

The University of Derby is seeking payment processing agents to provide merchant payment gateway services for the processing of financial card transactions. This tender, classified under the CPV code 66172000, falls under the services category and is currently in the Award stage. The contract, which has been awarded but is set to last three years, has a value of £174,000 and was signed on April 1, 1966. The procurement process used was limited and negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, reflecting the unique integration and automation capabilities required for recurring card payments.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in financial transaction services, particularly those with advanced technology in card processing and integration. Companies looking to leverage their expertise in automated payment solutions, flexibility in recurring transactions, and self-service capabilities would be well-positioned to compete. Notably, potential suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to provide high-level service without dependence on third-party solutions or manual interventions.

There must not be any limitations around frequency or fixing timing of payments. An automatic retry of failed payments is required. There shall be no reliance on third party solutions to collect and facilitate payments and no reliance on manual interventions to "manage" payment, changes in payment details and amounts and failures.

### Procurement Information

There is no other provider that provides the same functionality and integration for Recurring Card Payments (RCP) in the sector.

To contact with a new provider will take two years to implement and will be at significant cost. It has been agreed that a tender process taking this into consideration will commence next year.
