This sits in the upper-middle of the Financial & Insurance Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 8,013 valued Financial & Insurance Services tenders in our corpus.

The brief

CPS has a requirement to pay suppliers, witness expenses and some other expenses directly.

This is via BACS where a bank account exists and by cheque where a bank account does not exist.

The requirement for such a facility remains as an ongoing need and a new procurement is necessary as CPS does not have the in-house capability.

The solution must provide a financial transactional processing for BACS and Cheque printing services via a BACS approved commercial Bureau as set out below: BACS indirect submitter - provide a Bureau service to allow the Authority to submit payment data files on a daily basis, which must be processed completely by the Supplier on the same working day.

Cheque printing service - where no bank account exists for any payee, the Supplier must be able to provide a cheque printing service.

Remittance dispatch service - when payment is made by printed cheque and no email address is provided, a printed remittance must be produced and dispatched with the printed cheque.
