## Summary

The London Borough of Hillingdon has completed the procurement process for a Framework Contract for the provision of payment card services, specifically aimed at enabling the administration of direct payment funds to residents, a requirement under the Care Act 2014. The contract, valued at £216,900, was awarded to EML Payment Services on 29th March 2024, under the classification of health and social work services (CPV code 85000000). The initial contract term is two years with an option to extend for an additional year. The procurement method was a limited procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, as it was deemed outside the scope of the directive. The main procurement phase is now in the award stage, with the framework being managed from the Civic Centre, High Street, Uxbridge, UKI74.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in payment card services, especially those adept at facilitating financial solutions within social care frameworks. EML Payment Services, an SME based in London, successfully secured the framework, indicating that similar-sized enterprises with expertise in financial services and a robust understanding of public sector requirements stand a good chance of succeeding in such tenders. Companies that can deliver scalable and compliant financial mechanisms, as well as innovative solutions for public service delivery, are well-suited to compete in future opportunities in this sector.
