## Summary

The Suffolk Sourcing agency is seeking to award a contract for an Optical Character Recognition / Invoice Capture Software solution, with a total estimated value of £46,685. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category and is currently in the Award stage, following the completion of the tender submission process, which closed on 19 October 2018. The contract is set to start on 1 November 2018 and will run until 1 April 2023. The location for this procurement is Suffolk, United Kingdom, where the successful supplier must ensure compatibility with the existing Unit4 Business World accounting system.
