Scottish Canals - EPOS

SCOTTISH CANALS

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Canals, a body governed by public law, recently completed the procurement process for a new Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) system. The tender aimed to provide a comprehensive solution that interfaces with their existing finance system, Sage 300, and Opayo payment processor. The project covers ticketing, retail, and stock management functions. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and finalised with Vennersys as the awarded supplier. The contract, valued at £120,000, was signed on 16th December 2024, following a competitive tender period that ended on 26th August 2024. Located in Glasgow, UK, the initiative falls under the 'General public services' industry category, classifying under CPV code 48110000.

This tender signifies significant opportunities for businesses specialising in EPOS solutions and integrated financial systems. Ideal candidates for similar future projects would be suppliers adept in creating scalable, seamless technology interfaces for payment processing and stock control, coupled with a strong understanding of both online and on-premises sales environments. Vendors with a capability to integrate with systems like Sage 300 and manage end-to-end sales and inventory operations could leverage such opportunities for growth given the recurring nature of technology updates and system maintenance required in public service operations. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Vennersys can competitively position themselves by capitalising on their agility and specialised expertise.
