What is being bought

The contract includes the provision of merchant acquiring for all card transactions apart from student fees, which are managed separately. Both online CNP and in-person CP transactions are included. The provision of physical infrastructure for CP payment acceptance is also included, along with capability for a very small volume of MOTO payments keyed into terminals directly by staff. Student fee processing and associated merchant acquiring are excluded as these are managed separately. ****UPDATE**** Previous Open FTS Tender was abandoned due to no acceptable tenderers. PCR 2015 Reg 32(2)(a) allows for a contract to be entered into via negotiation without further competition where ‘no suitable tenders’ were received. This contract was negotiated with the incumbent supplier to ensure that the services continue.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Banking services (66110000); 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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 662,7583 median · 17.2 average (1,184 of 2,758 with a bid count)2.5 average (1,316 of 2,758 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK8945 median · 28.2 average (349 of 894 with a bid count)3.3 average (388 of 894 with named award suppliers)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.

Price-outcome signal

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.
