Manchester, 7th September 2026- AccessPay, a leading bank integration and payment automation provider, has been awarded a place on G-Cloud 15, giving public-sector organisations an established route to procure its cloud-based financial connectivity technology.
G-Cloud 15 is the latest iteration of the UK Government framework for procuring cloud software, hosting and support services and the first to operate under the Procurement Act 2023.
The new framework introduces a number of changes to previous versions of G-Cloud, including a new open-framework structure, revised public-sector contract terms and increased emphasis on cyber security requirements across the technology supply chain. For organisations responsible for critical financial operations, that increased focus on security and resilience is particularly important.
AccessPay supports public-sector organisations with secure, cloud-based Bacs payment services, helping them manage critical payment processes with greater control, resilience and efficiency. Supporting organisations operating as direct Bacs submitters, as well as those looking to use AccessPay as a Bacs bureau, finance teams can have flexibility in how they manage and submit payments.
For many public-sector organisations, Bacs is the starting point. AccessPay can then support a wider move towards more integrated financial operations, including connecting finance systems and banking processes to reduce manual work, strengthen controls and improve visibility over time.
This is already delivering tangible benefits for public-sector finance teams. Rotherham Borough Council says AccessPay has made its direct debit, payroll and creditor payment workflows “simpler, safer and far more organised”, while Walsall Council says its Bacs and Direct Debit payment processes have become “much quicker, easier and more efficient”, with less manual work involved.
But as financial operations become increasingly digital and interconnected, the technology supporting them must do more than improve efficiency. It has to be resilient. An outage or connectivity failure affecting banking infrastructure can quickly have operational consequences, from delayed supplier payments and payroll to reduced access to cash and banking information.
AccessPay therefore continues to invest in the security, controls and operational resilience required to support business-critical financial processes. Its inclusion on G-Cloud 15 forms another part of that wider commitment.
Charles Haworth, Head of Public Sector Sales comments:
“For public-sector organisations, choosing technology to support critical financial operations cannot be based on functionality alone. Security, resilience and continuity all matter when that technology sits between an organisation’s finance systems and its banks. G-Cloud 15 reflects the increasing standards expected of cloud technology providers, and our inclusion gives public-sector organisations another route to access AccessPay while providing an additional proof point of the standards we set for our own technology.”AccessPay is available through the G-Cloud 15 Marketplace here: https://www.applytosupply.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud-15/supplier/700616
