Description

The Government Banking Service (GBS), the Authority Customer, provides a shared service to around 750 customers in Central Government and the wider public sector. Any organisation that uses the shared services provided by the Authority Customer may require the secure paper based payment instrument, known as the Payable Order. The Payable Order serves the same function as a cheque drawn on a commercial bank and is recognised by various Cheque Acts. It is therefore a valuable document that requires secure production and delivery. The design and layout of the Payable Order must conform to The UK Payments Administration Ltd's standards (a subsidiary company within Pay.UK who operate the UK's national retail payment systems) (formerly known as APACS). The underlying customers who use the Authority Customer's shared services will be referred to as 'Government Banking Customer(s).' The requirement covers Payable Orders and cut sheets which are supplied to various Government Banking Customers at locations around the UK. The Authority Customer requires the supply of secure printed material, Payable Orders, as a specific and reliable end to end service. The design for Payable Orders and other items may change during the timescale of any Agreement. Such changes will be negotiated and agreed before production of the modified item will commence. The Supplier is required to keep current active and reserve designs of Payable Orders.
