Description

Merchant acquiring is a range of services for payment execution and processing. It is a service provided to enable the acceptance of payments via credit card or debit card. Without having a merchant acquirer, the Council will be unable to accept card payments, and thus the services are an integral part of the Council's income process.\r
\r
Prior to the formation of the unitary authority, Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council had a number of different suppliers engaged that were providing similar services. Through the award of this contract BCP Council is consolidating the number of suppliers and achieving better economies of scale.
