    "description": "Government Digital Service (GDS), currently part of Cabinet Office is seeking a payment service provider to underpin the GOV.UK Pay platform, specifically for processing credit and debit card payments and pay by bank (open banking) payments made by end users to services operated by local government, police, the armed forces and some other public sector organisations.  GDS is therefore undertaking this procurement as a central purchasing body using the negotiated procedure in accordance with regulation 37 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).\r\n\r\nBackground Information\r\n\r\nGOV.UK Pay (\u0027Pay\u0027) is a digital payments platform, developed and run by GDS. Pay is a payments product, providing a quick and easy way for the public to make payments for services online and via telephone.\r\n\r\nPay currently supports central government, local authority, police forces and NHS teams to take payments for their services digitally. It automates financial processes and reduces the administration burden on teams, saving time and money that can be reinvested in important public services.\r\n\r\nThe platform has processed over 94 million transactions since September 2016, with a total value of \u00a36 billion GBP. Services using GOV.UK Pay include HM Passport Office\u0027s Apply for a passport.\r\n\r\nPay is a common tool that is built once and used many times by more than 1,000 different public sector services, saving the public sector time, money and reducing duplication of effort. It also offers a consistent, trusted and accessible user experience making it quick and easy for citizens to pay for public sector services. Pay has achieved significant realised benefits, saving public sector money.\r\n\r\nWhilst the current contract handles only 17% of payments currently going through GOV.UK Pay it is used by more than 70% of all our services currently taking a payment and is the only option available which enables teams to start taking payments within one working day. \r\n\r\nOpportunity Details\r\n\r\nThe Contracting Authority, Cabinet Office, intends to partner with a successful supplier chosen by means of a Competitive Negotiated Procedure. The services are described in Attachment 3, Statement of Requirements. \r\n\r\nThe contract will be for an initial 36 month period from early July 2025 - July 2028, with 2 x 12 month extension options.\r\n\r\nThe Contract values represent an estimated maximum value with no commitment to spend and no guarantee of any volumes of usage under the contract. \r\n\r\nThe Contract will be between the successful Supplier and the Contracting Authority. \r\n\r\nThe Contract is being offered under HMG\u0027s \u0027The Mid-Tier Contract\u0027 as adapted for this procurement and attached as part of the Bid Pack,  which will govern any resultant Contract.\r\n\r\nThe Contracting Authority is managing this Procurement in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. \r\n\r\nThe Contracting Authority is seeking proposals for a partner supplier. The full specification is in Attachment 3 (Statement of Requirements).\r\n\r\nAdditional information: All clarification questions and bids should be emailed to gds-digital-buyer@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk, referencing WP2236 \u0027Clarification\u0027 or WP2236 \u0027Bid\u0027 in the email Subject.",
