Decision details
Award of bill payment services contract
Decision Maker: Director of Resources
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Award of contract for the continuation of bill
payment services (including collection of chip and pin
payments).
Reasons for the decision:
Following a proper procurement through a
framework, the contract is awarded to maintain essential payment
collection services for the benefit of the Council's revenue
account and the convenience of citizens.
Alternative options considered:
There is no in house facility to provide this
service. Procurement through a framework was preferred to an open
market procurement due to time constrains following the existing
provider notifying the Council that it was ceasing this service
shortly.
