Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured a cashless catering application for catering and online payments. The requirement is a software service rather than physical catering equipment or construction work. It is intended for use in the Scottish Borders, with the procurement listing delivery in the council’s area. The contract covers one requirement: a cashless catering and online payments application. This may suit software providers specialising in cashless payment systems, school or public-sector catering technology, online payment platforms, or related application services. The buying organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority based at Newtown St Boswells. The selected supplier, CRB Cunninghams Limited, is based in Loanhead and is recorded as a large organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CRB Cunninghams Limited for the single cashless catering and online payments requirement. The tender used an open procedure and the purchase was made against the G-Cloud 14 framework. One bid was recorded, with no bids from small or medium-sized enterprises. The contract was signed on 28 April 2025 and has a value of £207,136.23. The contract is recorded as active. The procurement was evaluated through the stated procedure, with the award relating to the whole requirement rather than multiple separately awarded lots. The available outcome shows one supplier selected; no separate award values or additional suppliers are identified.

This completed award provides a useful benchmark for suppliers targeting Scottish Borders Council’s future digital catering and payment requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide a reliable cashless catering application with integrated online payments, suitable for public-sector operational use and capable of supporting the council’s service users. Familiarity with the G-Cloud 14 framework and the route used for this purchase would be commercially relevant. The recorded competition attracted one bid, and the successful organisation is classified as large, suggesting that demonstrable delivery capacity, established systems and the resources to support implementation and ongoing service may matter. Relevant providers include specialist cashless catering software companies, payment technology suppliers and application service businesses able to combine software, payment processing and support.
