## Summary

The procurement process for a contract titled "Payment Processing Software" has been completed by South Lanarkshire Council, a regional authority located in Hamilton, UK. The procurement, initiated through an open tender procedure, is classified under services and was specifically aimed at addressing the council's ongoing requirement for electronic payment submission and collection via BACS. The council processes approximately 1.2 million transactions annually, and the critical functionality for BACS payments is necessary for its financial operations. The contract, awarded to Bottomline Technologies Ltd, involves a total value of £55,000 and was signed on 1st May 2020.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in financial technology and payment processing solutions, particularly those with compliant software for the anticipated switch to cloud-based Open Banking. Companies that provide electronic payment systems, BACS functionality, or related financial services will be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, given the increasing operational demands and regulatory changes expected in the banking industry.

## Notice

The Council have an ongoing requirement for electronic payment submission and collection (Direct Credit and Direct Debit) through BACS for payment of suppliers, payroll and revenue collection, including rent, NDR and Council Tax. The Council processes 1.2m transactions annually and BACS payment functionality is critical to the financial operation of the Council. The banking industry is working towards to deregulation of BACS which is expected to be removed by 2021 and replaced with cloud based Open Banking. The Council's current c-series software is not cloud compliant and will not support Open Banking, so alternative product options have been identified.
