## Summary

The procurement process for Unity BACS Services, facilitated by HM Revenue & Customs, is focused on the provision of BACS approved bureau services. This initiative aims to assist clients under the Department for Transport umbrella with critical payment processes using approved software. The procurement falls under the category of software package and information systems, with the main procurement category identified as goods. Initially tendered without prior publication, the contract awarded to boxxe Limited, signed on 20th November 2025, ensures continuity of services necessary due to technical reasons and was valued at £30,165.26. The contract is based in London, with service delivery within the York region, and includes a potential extension option for one additional year beyond the initial two-year term.

The Unity BACS Services tender represents a strategic business growth opportunity for companies in the software sector, specifically those specialising in financial transactions and information systems. Businesses adept in managing BACS payments and possessing the capability to offer bureau services could successfully compete for similar future contracts. The procurement method used was limited, aimed at ensuring service continuity due to the complexities involved in transitioning providers, highlighting opportunities for firms that can overcome technical barriers and optimise public sector contract fulfilment. Potential suppliers should focus on understanding the functional intricacies and requirements of HM Revenue & Customs and the Department for Transport to position themselves effectively for business growth through similar tenders.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of BACS approved bureau services to enable all clients under the Department for Transport umbrella to send critical payments and collect revenues and process Direct Debit and Direct Credit related reports using BACS approved software.

Options: This contract is for 2 years with an optional 12-month extension period.

### Procurement Information

This is a low value, below-threshold procurement. Unity cluster BACS solution delayed so continuity of service required. Costs of switching supplier and modifying existing SFTP link with ERP Supplier at this moment in time would exceed this contract value (not VfM). Also would be a highly complex exercise, risking DfT not being able to send/receive critical payments.
