Global framework agreement for payment aggregators for cash-based transfers

Published 17. Jul 2025
Invitation to bid.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an international non-governmental organisation working with displacement-affected people in 40 countries worldwide. The people we work with are often in crisis situations or face a variety of risks. They may be undocumented, and may even be unreachable by financial service providers.

In the course of our programming, we transfer relatively small sums of money - usually between USD 50 and 2,000 but sometimes larger sums- to individuals and to formal and informal entities including private businesses and community groups. In 2024 the volume of money transferred was around USD 140m.

NRC seeks to establish long term (max. four years) global framework agreement(s) to allow our country offices (CO) around the world to purchase fund-transfer services from payment aggregators with a strong global reach and the ability to transfer funds through one portal to multiple recipients using bank accounts, mobile money, prepaid cards, physical cash, etc.

Deadline for submission of bids (receiving date) is 8 August 2025, at 23:59 GMT+2
