## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Coventry - Solihull - Warwickshire authority, involves the award of a contract titled "SOL-School Tills-Cashless Catering." This contract is focused on the replacement of tills across approximately 70 schools, primarily located within Solihull Borough, although one school is situated in Worcestershire. The contract, classified under software package and information systems, is currently in the Award stage, having completed the Tender phase. The delivery and installation of the new tills must be completed by 29th February 2020, with the contract set to run for five years, and the option to extend for an additional three years. The contract value is estimated at £500,000, and the procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 12th August 2019.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the supply of IT services, particularly those specialising in point of sale software, system maintenance, and related hardware. Companies that provide cashless catering solutions, touch screen monitors, or smart card readers would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on a collaborative approach from the supplier to ensure timely implementation and ongoing support throughout the contract duration.
