The system is intended to support sales and stock management across both settings. This is a rail-sector requirement, with the buyer based in Inverness. The planned procurement is classified as a service and relates to software for sales and stock control. The stated delivery scope covers onboard operations and lounges; no more specific delivery locations are identified. This is a single planned requirement, rather than separate published work packages. This is at the planning stage: Caledonian Sleeper has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use market-engagement sessions to inform the eventual market structure, lot design and tender strategy. Interested suppliers were asked to request a non-disclosure agreement and conflict-of-interest declaration by 27 November 2026; engagement sessions are to follow once the agreement is executed. The buyer’s anticipated date for the next notice is 27 January 2027. No procurement procedure, contract value, budget, contract duration or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage. Participation in engagement is not a tender submission. The requirement is likely to suit suppliers able to provide and support an integrated EPOS and stock-management system for transport hospitality, covering both onboard sales and lounge operations. Relevant strengths would include managing point-of-sale workflows alongside stock visibility and control across distinct operating environments. Suppliers with experience delivering systems for rail, travel, catering or other multi-site hospitality settings may be well placed to contribute practical insight during the planned market engagement. The buyer intends to use engagement to shape the lots and eventual tender approach, so suppliers with a clear view of suitable market packaging can help inform that design. The procurement information does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations, capacity thresholds or experience requirements. ## Notice Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) and Stock Management solution across onboard and lounge operations. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) and Stock Management solution across onboard and lounge operations.
