## Summary

The University of the West of England in Bristol has recently concluded a procurement process for the provision of card transaction fee services. This process falls under the financial transaction processing and clearing-house services industry category. The procurement was conducted through a direct procurement method, below-threshold and without competition. The contract, awarded to Flywire Payments Limited, runs from January 16, 2026, to January 17, 2026, with a total gross value of £120,000. The primary location for the service delivery is within the UKK12 region, specifically in the United Kingdom. The process has progressed to the award stage with the contract presently active, and legal compliance is governed by the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for SMEs engaged in the financial services sector, especially those specialising in transaction fee management and processing systems. Flywire Payments Limited, a SME based in London, was successful in securing the contract, demonstrating the potential for similar entities to engage in sub-central government procurement processes. Given the direct procurement method employed, this type of contract is well-suited for businesses that can provide specific and competitively priced services promptly and without the need for extensive competition. Such opportunities are a viable pathway for SMEs to establish or expand their footprint within public sector service provision.
