What is being bought

O V E R V I E W Post Office Limited (POL) is preparing for the replacement and improvement of its Cash Processing & CViT Transport (Track & Trace) System. This is the system that manages and facilitates the logistics of physical cash across its 11,500+ branches and other customers across the UK. S E R V I C E S U M M A R Y A highly specialised, business-critical cash management system used in POL's cash centres and Cash & Valuables in Transit (CViT) depots (as opposed to POL branches) supporting the movement, processing, reconciliation, control and reporting of cash and valuables across POL's national supply chain. Functions of the system may also include demand planning and cash forecasting, customer order management and fulfilment, end-to-end consignment and chain-of-custody tracking, route planning and optimisation, real-time operational visibility, exception and investigation management, multi-currency cash processing, inventory forecasting and optimisation, digital proof of collection and delivery, advanced reporting and self-service analytics, audit and regulatory compliance, master data management, and operational performance monitoring either delivered directly, or through integrations to POL strategic systems. The solution is expected to support configurable workflows, automation, predictive analytics, and the efficient management of cash, valuables, assets and transport operations across the end-to-end supply chain. The solution must support POL's independent network of customers, including POL Branches and banking hubs. The future supplier(s) is expected to implement and provide a replacement and enhanced application together with associated application management services, including maintenance, support, development, security management, service transition, operational readiness, testing, knowledge transfer and ongoing service improvement. The application(s) must integrate with internal and external systems, such as POL's national-wide Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) system, finance system, high-speed note counting machine, data warehouse, and foreign currency exchange. S C O P E The current minimum scope under consideration is: 1. Applications (software(s) for both the Cash Centre processing and CViT Track & Trace); and 2. Applications Management (maintenance, support and development). POL is also considering, as informed by this preliminary market engagement (PME) exercise, whether the additional services below should be added to the scope: 3. Hosting 4. Service Management (integrator, incident mgmt., reporting)

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Inventory management software package (48430000); 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 482,6001 median · 6.1 average (790 of 2,600 with a bid count)1.5 average (857 of 2,600 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer3Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK6891 median · 7.9 average (196 of 689 with a bid count)2.1 average (215 of 689 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.

If there are less than this number of suitable respondents by the deadline, POL may extend it. Where more satisfy the relevant minimum requirements, POL will reduce numbers:\n  • by compliance with these instructions; \n  • by the most appropriate Capability Suitability Statements;\n  • to seek an appropriately representative range of organisations across the relevant service areas and delivery models; and\n  • as otherwise permissible in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023\nPOL's e-sourcing tool is Web3. To be considered for this PME exercise, organisations must:\n  • Register to Web3 if your organisation has not already (https://postoffice.wax-live.com/S2C/SignIn.aspx); then\n  • Find and access the Web3 \"Qualification Stage for PME2 for Cash Processing & CViT Transport System\" Project Event; then\n  • Download, sign, and upload NDA; and\n  • Upload its Capability Suitability Statement.\nThe NDA and Capability Suitability Statement must be uploaded to the Project Event in their respective Questionnaire areas.\nShould your organisation have issues with Web3, use the 'Contact Us' in the URL link above.

    "description": "O V E R V I E W \nPost Office Limited (POL) is preparing for the replacement and improvement of its Cash Processing & CViT Transport (Track & Trace) System. This is the system that manages and facilitates the logistics of physical cash across its 11,500+ branches and other customers across the UK.\nS E R V I C E   S U M M A R Y\nA highly specialised, business-critical cash management system used in POL's cash centres and Cash & Valuables in Transit (CViT) depots (as opposed to POL branches) supporting the movement, processing, reconciliation, control and reporting of cash and valuables across POL's national supply chain.\nFunctions of the system may also include demand planning and cash forecasting, customer order management and fulfilment, end-to-end consignment and chain-of-custody tracking, route planning and optimisation, real-time operational visibility, exception and investigation management, multi-currency cash processing, inventory forecasting and optimisation, digital proof of collection and delivery, advanced reporting and self-service analytics, audit and regulatory compliance, master data management, and operational performance monitoring either delivered directly, or through integrations to POL strategic systems. \nThe solution is expected to support configurable workflows, automation, predictive analytics, and the efficient management of cash, valuables, assets and transport operations across the end-to-end supply chain.\nThe solution must support POL's independent network of customers, including POL Branches and banking hubs.\nThe future supplier(s) is expected to implement and provide a replacement and enhanced application together with associated application management services, including maintenance, support, development, security management, service transition, operational readiness, testing, knowledge transfer and ongoing service improvement. The application(s) must integrate with internal and external systems, such as POL's national-wide Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) system, finance system, high-speed note counting machine, data warehouse, and foreign currency exchange. \nS C O P E \nThe current minimum scope under consideration is:\n 1. Applications (software(s) for both the Cash Centre processing and CViT Track & Trace); and\n 2. Applications Management (maintenance, support and development).\nPOL is also considering, as informed by this preliminary market engagement (PME) exercise, whether the additional services below should be added to the scope:\n 3. Hosting\n 4. Service Management (integrator, incident mgmt., reporting)",
