## Summary

Erewash Borough Council procured payment processing software as a financial transaction processing and clearing-house service. The requirement covers the processing and clearing of financial transactions, with the procurement described as a cash-in solution under Lot 3 of the Procurement for Housing framework. The buying organisation is Erewash Borough Council, based at Wharncliffe Road in Ilkeston. The service supports the council’s payment collection activities and is delivered for the council’s operations in its local area. This is a services contract rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction works. The selected provider is Access Paysuite Ltd, a large software and payment services business headquartered in Loughborough.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award through the Procurement for Housing framework, under Lot 3, Cash in Solutions. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded supplier is Access Paysuite Ltd. The contract value is £150,600 excluding VAT, or £180,720 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and used the light-touch regime. The tender was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route; the published information identifies the requirement and framework lot but does not set out separate scoring criteria or a competitive tender evaluation.

This award shows established demand from Erewash Borough Council for payment processing software delivered through a public-sector housing framework. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable financial transaction processing and clearing-house services, with a product suited to cash-in and council payment collection. Experience of supplying public authorities and operating within a framework-based procurement route would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier’s scale indicates that the requirement can favour providers able to support ongoing operational service delivery rather than one-off implementation. Businesses with payment technology, transaction-processing capability and public-sector framework experience should track this buyer’s requirement when the existing service period ends, while recognising that no future procurement is promised.
