Ticon UK Ltd

Buying Solutions have signed a framework for prepaid cards with three Visa issuing banks. This framework means that public sector buyers can now use the GPC framework to buy prepaid without having to go to a formal tender. Buyers could use the mini-competition process to complete the procurement, or if they have specific needs that can only be met by one supplier, they can be called directly from the framework.

Ticon can help buyers understand how prepaid works, how to implement it and how to run a mini-competition for prepaid under the framework. To find out more email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . 

Ticon have just had an article published in Policy Review Magazine, (http://www.policyreview.co.uk/articles.php?article_id=54). 

In it, we outline how the benefits system could be modernised through the use of prepaid cards, delivering a fairer, more efficient system for individuals who are out of work. 

Ticon recently won a 2009 Global Business Excellence Award for Outstanding Prepaid Programme Manager in the public sector.  We are currently working with more than 35 councils to help them implement prepaid cards. Our prepaid support services can help councils deliver programmes that are cost effective and beneficial to the citizen. The chair of judges commented: “Ticon UK are leading the way with regard to prepaid programmes across the public sector.”
