This project is classified under retail trade services and involves the provision of six contactless donation devices in London. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions required by 4th March 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2019 and last for three years, with a possible two-year extension. The total contract value is set between £10,000 and £25,000, and the procurement method is open, allowing for varied bids including alternatives. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in retail technology, point of sale software, or shop furnishings. Businesses capable of providing innovative and engaging solutions that enhance visitor interaction and facilitate seamless payment experiences would particularly benefit from this opportunity. The emphasis on design, user experience, and maintainability opens avenues for firms with expertise in these areas to contribute effectively to the museum's objectives. ## Notice The V&A is inviting tenders for the provision of a contactless donation solution, inlcuding a number of physical donation points and a supplier that can support and maintain the solution (including any software that is required for the solution to function). At its core, the solution must facilitate contactless donations to the Museum in the same way that a cash donation box works at present. The Contactless Donation solution must: *Support the museum financially by encouraging generous, charitable donations from museum visitors *Reflect the values of the V&A through engaging, elegant design that evokes wonder and delight from the visitors *Integrate new technology and card payment processing regulations seamlessly to increase donation size and fit with the expanding digital initiatives of the Museum *Be semi-permanent with minimal fixings to the building fabric, to achieve a united, cohesive language with the entrance architecture and prevent damage from regular moving and storage for events. *Be able to withstand consistent, vigorous visitor use and staff access and allow for easy and cost efficient maintenance, replacement, and upgrade of digital elements Variant bids are also acceptable. Please download the documents for full details of the V&A's requirement The initial contract will be for 3 years, with the option to extend up to a further 2 years. The V&A anticipates that we will require six devices/payment points, and reserve the option to buy/lease additional quantities in the future. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. This tender process is being conducted online and paper returns will not be accepted. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6eaafb2-2413-4e6f-8dcb-e8075767eab7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM | | Locality | KENSINGTON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW7 2RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Brompton & Hans Town | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 48 - Software package and information systems - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services ### Codes - 39170000 - Shop furniture - 48110000 - Point of sale (POS) software package - 55900000 - Retail trade services ## Release History - 13 Feb 2019 at 17:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6eaafb2-2413-4e6f-8dcb-e8075767eab7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6eaafb2-2413-4e6f-8dcb-e8075767eab7 13th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Contactless-Donation-Solution/V5K24NE5B5 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
