## Summary

Warwickshire County Council, located in Warwick, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement of services under the Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme. This initiative is facilitated through a direct procurement method, below the competition threshold, and involves the provision of energy credits via PayPoint's Quick Credit Voucher (QCV) Agreement. This agreement spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028 and utilises a secure online portal for voucher issuance, avoiding the need for physical cash handling and offering a more economical alternative to pre-paid cards. The contract is valued at £142,988 and involves the distribution of vouchers across the UKG1 region.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in community, social, and personal services, emphasizing electronic payment solutions and secure financial transactions. PayPoint Payment Services Limited, a large-scale supplier, is already involved, indicating that companies with comparable capabilities in providing flexible payment solutions and experience handling welfare-related financial services are well-positioned to compete. The provision of such services can expand the supplier’s portfolio, strengthen client relationships, and enhance market presence within the public sector's social welfare domain.

## Notice

The PayPoint Quick Credit Voucher (QCV) Agreement facilitates the delivery of PayPoint's Cash Out service, offering a cost-effective and secure method for issuing energy credits to eligible applicants under the Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme. Vouchers can be distributed via email, letter, or SMS, providing flexibility in communication and delivery.
