Payment Platform - Early Market Engagement

The University of Lincoln (UoL) is seeking expressions of interests from organisations that can provide a payment gateway or platform to facilitate online payments.

UoL currently use WPM who provide a number of different pathways including an online shop for products, events and short-courses, integration into our Library System (Capita Chorus) to allow the payment of library fines, integration into our accommodation system (Occam - Room Service) to allow the payment of accommodation fees via recurring card payments.

Recurring card payments are also taken for tuition fees and other items.

There is also a payment pathway to allow invoice payments.

Student payments and invoice payments contain validation against student number / invoice number.

UoL is also interested in allowing payments by direct debit, which we would envisage replacing recurring card payments.

Last year 21,000 transactions were processed with an income of £14.8 million.

UoL has existing agreements with a Payment Services Provider (Realex) and Card Acquirer (Global Payments) which ideally we intend to maintain.

If your organisation can provide something that can meet our requirements please email Matthew Hird mhird@lincoln.ac.uk, with a brief outline of your organisation and solution.

The type of organisation that we would look to work with would have a fully developed product, experience and track record of proving payment gateway solutions, reference sites and be able to evidence PCI compliance.
