What is being bought

Carmarthenshire County Council Healthy Communities & Public Protection Service are looking to procure an EPOS system that is multifunctional and can operate across several facilities. The system should be able to manage both catering and retail operations as well as having the capability to offer additional functionality detailed in the specification below, to help facilities manage their daily financial transactions with a key driver being to reduce costs, drive sales and deliver better customer service. The EPOS system will be installed in cafés and restaurants within leisure-based facilities such as leisure centres, country parks, small hotel, museums, art venues and theatres. The system will be expected to help facilitate the daily operation of such venues to varying degrees, the capability to tailor the system set up based on a venues requirement will be an important factor (i.e. some facilities will only require an EPOS to run F&B and retail sales, where another may need to be able to facilitate F&B, Retail, Ticketing and Membership capability etc.). The ability to manage facility admissions, retail sales, daily stock management and provide comprehensive real time back-office management data are just some of the key functionalities expected of the system.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Point of sale (POS) software package (48110000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 483,6491 median · 6.5 average (1,210 of 3,649 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,393 of 3,649 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1843 median · 3 average (1 of 184 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 184 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "Carmarthenshire County Council Healthy Communities & Public Protection Service are looking to procure an EPOS system that is multifunctional and can operate across several facilities. The system should be able to manage both catering and retail operations as well as having the capability to offer additional functionality detailed in the specification below, to help facilities manage their daily financial transactions with a key driver being to reduce costs, drive sales and deliver better customer service.\nThe EPOS system will be installed in cafés and restaurants within leisure-based facilities such as leisure centres, country parks, small hotel, museums, art venues and theatres. The system will be expected to help facilitate the daily operation of such venues to varying degrees, the capability to tailor the system set up based on a venues requirement will be an important factor (i.e. some facilities will only require an EPOS to run F&B and retail sales, where another may need to be able to facilitate F&B, Retail, Ticketing and Membership capability etc.). The ability to manage facility admissions, retail sales, daily stock management and provide comprehensive real time back-office management data are just some of the key functionalities expected of the system.",

Additionally, the system must support stock allocation from a central delivery location to satellite sites and integrate with our existing F&B suppliers for the purposes of ordering.\nOur cultural and outdoor recreation facilities also sell retail items such as books, jewellery, pottery, paintings, and gifts in retail shops / online retail, the EPOS system must accommodate these transactions.\nThe system should handle (but not limited to) flexible venue ticketing and pricing, bundled pricing (e.g., tickets with F&B), e-ticketing, promotions, event and workshop management, facility memberships, loyalty programmes, and promotions with coupons, discounts, and offers.\nMobile selling capabilities via handheld tablet devices are essential for flexibility across our facilities. The system must be cloud-based with a multi-site, real-time back-office system for monitoring and analysis at both site-specific and collective levels, offering comprehensive financial and stock data reports.\nWe expect to utilise existing hardware where possible, provided it meets the necessary specifications. Therefore, we anticipate we will be seeking cost proposals for both software only and software with hardware.\nParticipation in this engagement is for information and planning purposes only and does not commit the Council to any procurement or award. All interested parties are encouraged to register their interest, attend the engagement session where we would like to see a demonstration of your system.\nDetails of the procurement route, specification including contract structure will be confirmed following this engagement process.",
