## Summary

Loughborough University is planning a procurement process for an electronic point of sales system (EPOS) titled "EPOS - System to Sell". This initiative aims to establish a unified yet flexible solution for the university's commercial services, ensuring operational independence while benefiting from shared infrastructure and integrated data. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically catering equipment, with a gross value of £300,000. Located in Loughborough, UK (region UKF22), this process is in the planning stage, with a scheduled market engagement milestone due on 30th January 2026. Interested suppliers will be provided with further project details and opportunities to engage with the university through supplier days or demonstrations.

Businesses that specialise in EPOS solutions, particularly those with experience in integrating flexible, scalable systems, should consider this as a significant opportunity for growth. This tender is well-suited for technology firms providing innovative, long-lasting sales system solutions. Equally, businesses offering ancillary services such as infrastructure support or customer data integration may find this opportunity beneficial for strategic partnerships. The goal of replacing the current system with one that is fit for purpose for the next decade means that the university is looking for sustainable and forward-thinking solutions, providing a lucrative opportunity for tech companies to showcase cutting-edge advancements in sales technology.
