## 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: BACS indirect submitter - provide a Bureau service to allow the Authority to submit payment data files on a daily basis, which must be processed completely by the Supplier on the same working day\. Cheque printing service - where no bank account exists for any payee, the Supplier must be able to provide a cheque printing service\. Remittance dispatch service - when payment is made by printed cheque and no email address is provided, a printed remittance must be produced and dispatched with the printed cheque\.
