## Summary

The procurement process for the "Digital Payment Services" contract, originally initiated by North Star Housing Group at Endeavour House, Thornaby, was in the tender stage, focusing on the services category within the United Kingdom (region UKC11). This open procedure aimed at procuring electronic payment services to aid in the collection of rent and other customer charges. Key dates included the tender period set to close on 1st May 2026 and an award period concluding by 8th May 2026. However, on 4th June 2026, the process was cancelled following a tender cancellation notice prompted by regulatory reviews and feedback on implementation timelines. Plans were noted to reassess the procurement for a fresh tender exercise in 2027.

This procurement provided an opportunity for businesses specialising in transaction-processing software, financial consultancy, and related financial services, to expand their reach and revenue by supplying vital digital payment services. Suitable candidates for such contracts include companies with expertise in developing transaction-processing software and those experienced in financial transaction processing. Additionally, businesses bringing innovation around social value in their proposals could highly benefit, reflecting the tender's award criteria weighting price and quality (including social value) as measures for selection. Despite its cancellation, this tender hinted at upcoming needs that will likely resurface in future opportunities within the sector.
