## Summary

The University of Sussex has renewed its payment services arrangement for taking card payments through a payment gateway, processing recurring card payments, and supporting its online shop, including PayPal and American Express. The work is international payment transfer services, delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement brings together payment processing for online purchases and recurring transactions, rather than a single payment channel. The buyer is the University of Sussex, based in Falmer, Brighton. This is a services contract for the university’s payment operations, with the awarded supplier providing the payment solution.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Flywire Payments Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 23 September 2026. Its term runs from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2029. The contract is valued at £155,826 excluding VAT, or £186,991.20 including VAT. The procurement was described as below threshold, with the specific procedure not identified. The published information does not state a separate award date or explain the evaluation basis, so the signed date is the recorded outcome date. The contract covers the payment gateway, recurring card transactions and online shop payments, including PayPal and American Express.

For suppliers considering similar university requirements, this award shows demand for an integrated payment service that can handle card gateway transactions, recurring payments and online-shop checkout, including connections to PayPal and American Express. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable processing across these channels and the ability to support international payment transfers for a UK higher-education buyer. The scale is a single university service contract rather than a multi-lot programme, so suppliers should be able to deliver the combined payment functions within one arrangement. Relevant experience would include operating payment services for online retail or education environments and supporting recurring transactions alongside one-off card payments. The selected supplier was a large provider, indicating an established payment-services capability was accepted for this requirement; the award does not set out specific technical accreditations or service levels.
