Government Procurement Card
The Co-operative Bank Government Procurement Card (GPC) enables public sector and charitable organisations to benefit from cost and process efficiency savings in their purchasing of high volume, lower value goods and services. It allows organisations to move away from traditional paper based purchasing systems, whilst retaining internal controls and meeting central government targets on payment timescales.
Is it for me?
The Government Procurement Card is the ideal solution for:
- All public sector organisations including local authorities, local councils, emergency services
- Charitable organisations
For other types of organisations please refer to our purchasing card product.
The benefits in brief are:
- Efficiency – speeds up payments and VAT reclaim, whilst reducing paperwork and administration costs
- Simplicity – all payments are made by a simple card transaction, plus you receive one repayment bill rather than hundreds
- Control – allows you to restrict spending of nominated internal departments and spending categories (e.g. stationery suppliers)
- Transparency – gives you access to comprehensive reports, with on-line management information available through Deecal’s Core Solution
- Security – chip and pin protection and online security
- Service – our in-depth knowledge of the public sector allows us to provide excellent service from initial implementation through to ongoing support
- Scale – the card is accepted in over 30 million Visa outlets worldwide.
