Description

CPS has a requirement to pay suppliers, witness expenses and some other expenses directly. This is via BACS where a bank account exists and by cheque where a bank account does not exist. The requirement for such a facility remains as an ongoing need and a new procurement is necessary as CPS does not have the in-house capability. The solution must provide a financial transactional processing for BACS and Cheque printing services via a BACS approved commercial Bureau as set out below:
