## Summary

The University of Portsmouth has concluded the procurement process titled "Till Licence, Maintenance and Upgrade," involving the servicing and upgrading of 13 tills to Windows 11, with additional enhancements for campus-related applications. This process, categorised under the "Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages" industry, took place in Portsmouth, England. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a streamlined selection process from pre-approved suppliers. The contract award, valued at £100,000, began on 1st April 2025 and is slated to continue until 31st March 2029. Key dates in this stage included the tender end date on 1st March 2025, with the award notice published on 30th April 2025.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities particularly for companies specialising in computing hardware and software services. Organisations like MCR Systems Limited, an SME awarded the contract, demonstrate potential success in such procurement initiatives by leveraging their scalability and expertise.
