Kent County Council awarded a contract to Allpay Limited for the provision of the Kent Card, a prepaid card used for social care, to support citizens of Kent in remaining independent and in control while streamlining Council systems.

The contract, valued at AUD 600,000, was procured via a mini-competition on NEPO Framework NEPO505 Lot 1 for Prepaid Payments, a multi-supplier lot for the provision and maintenance of Prepaid Card Accounts.

The contractor is required to offer cardholders an experience equivalent to a standard UK bank debit card, including card/account usage and online facilities with user support, and to implement effective controls and security measures to reduce fraud and provide a clear audit trail.
