UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured maintenance for its catering till system, together with rental of terminals. The requirement covers keeping the till system maintained and providing rented terminal equipment for the College’s catering operations. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the equipment described under miscellaneous equipment (CPV 39300000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based in Egham, Surrey.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Uniware Systems Limited. The College made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold route. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The contract value is £30,837 excluding VAT, or £37,005 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot. The published outcome describes a maintenance contract for the till system and rental of terminals; the evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not set out in the available process details.

For suppliers looking to compete when the College next buys this requirement, the relevant capability is maintaining catering till systems and supplying rental terminals as part of the service. A credible provider would need to support the till system over an ongoing service period and manage the provision of the associated equipment. Uniware Systems Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected for this combination of maintenance and terminal rental, showing that the work was delivered by an SME. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or reveal what technical, service or commercial criteria the buyer would apply in a future competition. The requirement is specific to the College’s catering till system rather than general catering or IT services.
