Crown Commercial Service · Central government

In brief

Crown Commercial Service has announced plans to buy financial services work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £13,500,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 16 September 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 22 bids per contract for this buyer (from 115 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £13,500,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority intends to put in place a Pan Government Collaborative Agreement for the provision of Payment Solutions to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. [It is intended that this commercial agreement will be the recommended vehicle for all Payment Solutions required by UK Central Government Departments.] This is for UK government customers looking to buy goods and services using procurement cards and to disburse funds using prepaid cards and voucher solutions. Lot 1: Procurement Cards Lot 2: Prepaid Cards Lot 3: Vouchers
