Crown Commercial Service (CCS), as the Authority is intending to put in place a collaborative agreement, designed to deliver a Digital Payments & Associated Data Services framework, accessible to all of the Public Sector. This forthcoming framework which aims to drive Payments and Financial Data innovation, is intended to simplify, accelerate, and enhance access to solutions. It will provide a compliant procurement route to market that delivers value and innovation, moving towards a future where financial data provides actionable intelligence. The procurement of this framework will be let under the new Procurement Act 2023 Regulations and will be designed to cover a broad spectrum of Digital Payments and Associated Data Services, including: ● Digital Payment Management: Handling the processing and administration of both incoming and outgoing digital payments. ● High-Volume Transaction Capabilities: Facilitating the execution of large-scale, bulk payment types ● Enhanced Security and Data Insights: Using financial data to provide operational transparency, minimise processing errors, and effectively reduce fraud. To inform the design and development of this new framework, CCS will conduct extensive market consultation and engagement, commencing in March 2026 and running through to September 2026. This period of consultation is designed to: ● Gather insights from Industry Experts, Buyers and Suppliers, to shape the final procurement strategy. ● Discuss and validate the potential requirements for the resulting framework. ● Provide a platform for prospective bidders to share expertise to help deliver a framework that is relative to the market. The engagement will be structured into numerous phases, focusing on key areas: ● Payment Acceptance & Gateway Services ● Open Banking Services (Payment Initiation, CVRP & Confirmation of Payee) ● Bulk & Recurring Payment Fulfillment (BACS, Direct Debit/Credit, Faster Payments) ● Payment Orchestration and Alternative Financial Innovation

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Financial and insurance services (66000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 66 | 2,758 | 3 median · 17.2 average (1,185 of 2,758 with a bid count) | 2.5 average (1,317 of 2,758 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 10 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 30 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
