Buyer guides, documents and how to buy are on the [official RM6383 page](https://www.gca.gov.uk/agreements/RM6383). ## Lots 3 lots. Suppliers win a place on a lot, and buyers call off work from the lot that fits their need. 1. Lot 1 Commercial Cards Use this lot to purchase Commercial Cards, which operate similarly to credit cards. Commercial Cards can be used to pay for goods and services immediately, supporting prompt payment initiatives. Cards can be physical and virtual and can be embedded into ERPs and back office systems to reduce time and resource on traditional back office processes. Controls can be placed on the cards using Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) to block the purchase of specified items. Customers receive an annual retrospective rebate based upon their card spend. The rebate is based on how quickly you clear the balance. 2. Lot 2 Prepaid Cards Use this lot to purchase prepaid cards. Prepaid cards are an alternative to cash. They allow for a set amount to be loaded onto the card. Controls can be placed on the card. For example, certain transactions can be blocked or only certain uses can be allowed. This might include ATM withdrawals only or Point of Sale transactions only. 3. Lot 3 Vouchers Use this lot to purchase closed loop vouchers, cash out vouchers and other optional voucher types. Closed Loop vouchers can be redeemed at a predetermined retailer or group of retailers. Cash out (or ‘Access to Cash Disbursals’) Vouchers can be exchanged for cash or used to buy specified products. Closed loop vouchers mean the retailer that issues the voucher will redeem the voucher. They are also known as giftcards. Optional ‘open’ loop vouchers could include multiple retailer options against certain merchant categories, such as energy vouchers. ## Open call-offs Live notices that mention RM6383.
