The proposal aims to improve payment initiation and account information services to facilitate bank transfers for customers efficiently. Suppliers are expected to provide services meeting global coverage, accessibility standards, real-time payments, PSD2 compliance, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility. This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses involved in financial consultancy, banking services, and payment processing to compete. The IPO seeks suppliers capable of enhancing customer payment experiences through digitisation and efficiency. The tender stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for April 10, 2023, under the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). ## Notice The IPO has identified a requirement for the provision of Payment Initiation and potentially Account Information Services in order to enable our customers to pay us by bank transfer (harnessing open banking opportunities) using a secure, simple, and efficient process as currently, our bank transfer journey is non-automated. It is anticipated that during the term of the contract Account Information Services may be required to deliver enhanced and tailored financial services therefore interested suppliers must have the ability to provide both services from the outset. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The IPO has identified a requirement for the provision of Payment Initiation and potentially Account Information Services in order to enable our customers to pay us by bank transfer (harnessing open banking opportunities) using a secure, simple, and efficient process as currently, our bank transfer journey is non-automated.
