This sits in the upper-middle of the Financial & Insurance Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Positioned on the mid-point of the notice's published range. Based on 8,013 valued Financial & Insurance Services tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Chorley Council has published 4 Financial & Insurance Services notices, about every 4 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around October 2026.

37% of Chorley Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The system facilitates transactions for various council functions.

The objective of this exercise is to deliver improved functionality and payment options and to enable effective service delivery.

Organisations should ensure that they have read the supporting information (Draft Service Specification) provided prior to responding.
