  Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

  Scottish Borders Council is looking to make it easier and more flexible for its customers to pay their council tax, business rates and other sundry debts.

  The geography of the Scottish Borders region makes it difficult for many of our customers to access a contact centre without having to travel significant distances which is why the Council has engaged a supplier to assist with improving the service whereby customers can pay locally with the knowledge that their payment is going directly to the council.
