Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council is seeking to implement a Retail Management System at Heritage Services sites across Bath. This procurement process falls under the "goods" category within the industry classification of Point of Sale (POS) software (CPV code 48110000). The procurement was executed through a restricted procedure with selective procurement methods, and the tender initially opened in September 2024, with the tender period closing on 11 November 2024. Notable milestones include the invitation date for the second stage on 27 November 2024. The contract, valued at £68,490 GBP, was awarded on 26 February 2025 to Futura Retail Solutions Limited, with the procurement status now complete.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in retail management systems and software development services (CPV code 72212110). The contract encompasses three significant Heritage Services retail sites, including two gift shops at the Roman Baths and one at the Victoria Art Gallery. Suppliers capable of delivering a comprehensive retail solution that integrates with eCommerce platforms could benefit from ongoing contracts and maintenance support for an initial term of three years, with potential extensions. SMEs like Futura Retail Solutions Limited, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate that smaller firms with specialised capabilities in POS software development have strong prospects in such competitive public sector tenders.
