## Summary

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is exploring electronic payment services covering electronic vouchers, paper vouchers and prepaid cards. The purpose of the market engagement is to understand available options and the market before shaping a procurement. The service falls within financial services. Delivery is associated with Solihull.

The process is at the planning stage: the council is undertaking preliminary market engagement, not inviting tenders. It expects to use the GCA Framework RM6383, with provisions adapted to its requirements. Suppliers are invited to complete a preliminary market engagement form by 8 November 2026. The council expects to publish a future procurement notice on 1 February 2027. The estimated value is £916,000 excluding VAT (£1,099,200 including VAT). The planned contract is due to run from 14 July 2027 to 13 July 2030, with a possible extension to 13 July 2031. This is a single-lot service procurement.

The council has marked the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers with experience in electronic or paper voucher programmes, prepaid card services, or related financial services may be well placed to contribute market insight and later compete. The engagement is intended to help the council understand the available options and adapt the framework provisions to its needs. This is a preparation opportunity rather than a current tender invitation.
