    The University is seeking to understand new and emerging innovations that have been made in this sector since out last tender process was undertaken with a primary focus of ascertaining how providers could assist in streamlining our current card payment facilities to allow for more efficient and effective reconciliation and management and aiding the University in achieving PCI DSS Compliance. Improvement to student experience of payment through these channels is also a priority. The University is seeking to develop efficient and cost-effective payment service provisions which will be capable of meeting future market and technological changes, and which will meet, and often exceed user expectations. It is looking to build strong working relationships with an organisation(s) in which it can be confident to deliver tangible value to the University. Potential providers must also be able to integrate with the University's accounting software package (Unit 4 Business World version 7.0/0(10)) to allow the import of data/files and also be compatible with various EPOS/Till systems the University utilises, including Gladstone and Uniware/Upay.
