## Summary

The Council of the City of Wakefield has concluded a public procurement process for the provision of supermarket vouchers and virtual pre-paid energy cards, under the project titled "Supermarket Vouchers and Energy Cards". This initiative, pertinent to the banking services industry category, was administered using the Household Support Grant. The procurement was executed without a prior publication of a call for competition under a direct award through the CCS Framework RM6248, specifically covering Lot 2 and Lot 3. Conducted as a limited procurement method, the process was completed under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, in the Wakefield area within the UKE region. The contract was signed on 11th September 2025 with a total value of £19,013,000 and awarded to Blackhawk Network Emea Limited, with an initial duration of three years and an option for a 12-month extension. 

This tender offers significant business expansion opportunities for companies specialising in financial services, particularly those capable of managing large-scale voucher and energy card distribution systems. With a substantial budget and scope for extension, it presents a lucrative prospect for large firms, like Blackhawk Network Emea Limited, which have the requisite infrastructure to support regional distribution and management needs. Companies in the banking and financial services sector that can deliver efficient, technology-driven solutions for voucher distribution may find similar future opportunities to engage in direct award contracts with regional authorities such as Wakefield Council.
