Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Leisure is seeking a supplier for a new ticketing, booking and commercial software platform for OneRen. The requirement is for software supply, implementation and support services (CPV 72268000, with related software implementation and support classifications). The platform will support museums and event venues by bringing admissions, visitor bookings, retail transactions and donations into one system. It must cover general admission ticketing, schools and group bookings, and donation processing. The requirement also includes an integrated electronic point-of-sale system for retail activity, with hardware integration for tills and cash drawers. The platform is intended to improve operational efficiency, streamline staff processes and provide a smoother visitor experience both before arrival and onsite. Renfrewshire Leisure is based in Paisley.

This procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required in English. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 17 August 2026 at 12:00 BST; bid opening and the start of the stated award period are scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option for OneRen to extend it by up to one further two-year period at its sole discretion. Bids must remain valid for 180 days, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is weighted 70% to quality and 30% to price. Scotland Excel is conducting the tender for OneRen but will not be party to or manage the resulting contract.

This opportunity suits software suppliers with a configurable platform covering venue admissions, advance and onsite bookings, retail EPOS, donations and customer-facing ticketing. Competitors should be able to deliver a unified system rather than separate tools, integrate tills and cash drawers, and support general admission as well as schools and group bookings. Relevant implementation capability is important, including configuring workflows for museums and event venues, integrating the required hardware and helping staff use the new platform. Ongoing proactive supplier support is an explicit requirement, so businesses should be equipped to provide post-implementation assistance and maintain operational continuity. The scale and breadth of the requirement favour established ticketing, booking or visitor-attraction technology providers, including firms able to combine software supply, implementation and support.
