Banking, payments and treasury services for a public body
Banking and payment services are procured on operational fit and counterparty strength rather than on headline price, because the transactional charges are small against the consequences of a failure. Buyers assess regulatory authorisation, credit standing, the protection that applies to balances held, and continuity arrangements, alongside the practical questions that dominate daily use: settlement timings, cut-off times, the formats accepted for bulk payment files, and the ability to reconcile receipts automatically against the buyer's own references.
Pricing is a schedule rather than a rate, and comparing bids requires modelling against actual transaction volumes by channel. Card acquiring carries interchange and scheme fees that pass through, so the supplier's margin and the pass-through must be distinguished; cash handling is priced by collection and by value counted; direct debit and credit transfer carry per-item charges; and the interest arrangement on balances can outweigh all of it. A bid comparison that adds up unit prices without the volume profile produces the wrong winner routinely.
Compliance obligations flow in both directions. The supplier must meet payment security standards for card data, sanctions and anti-money laundering screening, and accessibility requirements for public-facing payment channels; the buyer must meet the supplier's onboarding and identity verification requirements, which for a public body with complex governance takes longer than either side expects. Migration between providers involves reissuing mandates and account details to every payer and payee, and that exercise, not the tender, is the real barrier to changing supplier.
