This tender, primarily targeting the "Miscellaneous software package and computer systems" category, will see the framework brought back in-house and is active from 17 February 2026. Relevant parties are encouraged to submit their proposals by 18 March 2026. The contract scope covers a wide geographical area, including the United Kingdom and several overseas territories. The procurement method applied is an open procedure, ensuring accessibility to a broad range of suppliers. The contract period is set from 16 May 2026 to 15 May 2029, with a focus on delivering electronic payment devices, software, and professional services to diverse educational and public sector institutions. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises capable of delivering cost-effective, quality solutions in electronic payment systems and associated software. The open procedure facilitates inclusivity for various business types, providing a prime opportunity for those with expertise in software and computer systems for public sector applications. Businesses that can offer innovative and efficient solutions in the educational sector, local authorities, and the wider public sector across multiple geographic locations, including Europe and the Isle of Man, will find this tender particularly attractive. Engaging in this procurement process promises enhanced visibility and the potential to establish long-term partnerships within the public sector. ## Notice For the past few years, CPC has outsourced the contract management of its Cashless Payment Solutions framework agreement for various reasons, one of which being capacity internally. We are now looking to bring this framework back in-house and this tender exercise will form the new iteration of the framework. Suppliers must be capable of delivering high-quality, cost-effective Electronic Payment Devices, Software and Professional Services to institutions such as schools, academies, colleges, universities, and educational trusts, as well as local authorities and the wider public sector. CPC will be using the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform to carry out this tender.
