## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council has successfully completed a contract award for a BACS Transmission Service, aimed at securely transmitting payment files on behalf of the council and its partners. The industry sectors involved include software packages, information systems, financial, and insurance services. Located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, the contracting process began with a tender and has now reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 14th November 2025. The contract period runs from 18th November 2025 to 17th November 2028, with a potential 12-month extension. This procurement was conducted below the threshold, with a total contract value of £105,600 GBP.

The contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial software systems and BACS services. This tender is particularly appealing to SMEs recognised for their expertise in secure file transmission services, akin to ACCESS SYSTEMS (UK) LIMITED, which successfully secured the contract. Firms with the capability to operate within the accredited BACS Approved Bureau Scheme would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, given the critical role these services play in enabling efficient financial operations within public authorities. Additionally, businesses situated within or near Rotherham, or with a proven track record in dealing with sub-central government entities, might find such tenders an excellent avenue for growth.

The number of SUNs and files generated are subject to increase and / or decrease and are not guaranteed.
