## Summary

Bernicia Group, a body governed by public law in Ashington, has completed the procurement process titled "Payment Solutions" under the CCS framework RM6248, which falls under the banking services industry category. The procurement aimed to provide procurement cards and was conducted via a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition, justified as outside the directive's scope. The procurement covers the UKC region with the final award made on 16th January 2025. The awarded contract is valued at £600,000 and was signed on the same date. The procurement stage is complete with Barclays Bank Plc being the awarded supplier.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in banking and payment solutions. SMEs may find this type of procurement less competitive due to the limited and direct award procedures. Nonetheless, businesses with established credentials in providing procurement cards and those familiar with public sector requirements are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. The partnership between Bernicia Group and Barclays Bank Plc underscores the potential for long-term, high-value contracts in the banking services industry.
