The requirement combines EPOS hardware with the associated software, including ticket-issuing equipment and software supply and maintenance. The supplier is responsible for providing, installing and commissioning the solution. The Council wants one system-based process across its sites to improve operational efficiency, automate income reconciliation and make PCI DSS compliance easier to maintain. The system is intended for use at up to approximately 30 sites. The delivery location is the Council’s estate; the procurement does not identify individual sites. The Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The process has four stages: preliminary compliance checks, a Part A procurement-specific questionnaire, tender evaluation and a presentation. The deadline for enquiries was 16 October 2026 at 13:00 UK time; offers were due by 27 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The stated evaluation period ran to 30 November 2026. The single lot was valued at £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially extending the term to 31 March 2034. The Council may also purchase additional equipment and associated software. Evaluation weighting is 40% price, 30% quality and 30% presentation. This requirement is suited to suppliers able to deliver an integrated EPOS hardware and software solution for use across a multi-site commercial estate. The supplier must be capable of providing, installing and commissioning both the equipment and software, and of supporting a system intended to unify processes across the Council’s sites. PCI DSS compliance is a technical participation requirement, so suppliers need to meet it. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. The procurement includes a presentation stage, making the ability to present the proposed solution part of the competition. Suppliers with relevant EPOS delivery and implementation capability, and the capacity to serve up to approximately 30 sites, are well placed to assess the opportunity. ## Notice The Council aims to enhance its Electronic Point of Sale capabilities with a single, integrated system. This will drive operational efficiency through a single system-based process for all sites, automate the income reconciliation process and simplify the process of maintaining PCI DSS compliance. The Supplier shall be responsible for the provision, installation, and commissioning of Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) hardware and the associated software solution. The hardware and software will be utilised in up to approx 30 sites across the Council's estate specifically those related to commercial activities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Purchase of new equipment and associated software if required Renewal: 2 x 12 month extension options ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/092610-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2032 | | Recurrence | 2033-09-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | £400,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council | | Locality | BOURNEMOUTH | | Postcode area | Bournemouth | | Postcode | BH2 6DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK63 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | | Local authority | Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | | Electoral ward | Bournemouth Central | | Westminster constituency | Bournemouth West | | Delivery location | TLK24 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30144200 - Ticket-issuing machines - 48100000 - Industry specific software package - 72267100 - Maintenance of information technology software - 72268000 - Software supply services ## Release History - 30 Sep 2026 at 22:07 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/092610-2026 - 30 Sep 2026 at 09:06 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/092132-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/092610-2026 30th September 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/092132-2026 30th September 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://suplyingthesouthwest.org.uk Proactis E Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
