Description

Consortium Procurement are re-procuring our Electronic Payment Service Framework, which expires in June 2019.
Having engaged with our membership and stakeholders, we would like to undertake an engagement session with potential suppliers of Electronic Payment services to gauge interest, discuss our requirements and establish their feasibility.
Our current framework consists of a single supplier, fully managed service, and our current thinking is to extend this to a lotted structure, opening the service to multiple suppliers and increasing competition.
Successful suppliers should be able to provide some or all of the below services:

1. Customer Payment Card - a bespoke payment card to assist Member organisations with rent collection, council tax payments etc.
2. Bar Code - Printed machine-readable "codes" unique to the particular transaction.
3. Credit card or Debit Card.
4. Direct Debit
5. Online Payment
We would like to invite interested Suppliers to an engagement session on 16th August 2018 in our Sunderland head office to gather feedback on the above. Please contact Drew Frame by end of 7th August 2018 to confirm your attendance and be allocated meeting time.
