Tender description

The aim of this tender was to procure a Cashless Catering and Online Payment Solution in accordance with the Statement of Requirements, for use by School Catering and Education and Children’s Services (ECS). Aberdeenshire Council currently has two separate contracts in place for a cashless catering and online payment solution that are nearing expiry. The Catering Service must ensure it has an appropriate solution in place that will continue to provide a front of house service and also to generate the accurate critical data that is required to run reports for data analysis that will help the Service to continue to operate efficiently. There is also a desire to push more payments online to stop the need for cash handling that is presently undertaken by staff and reduce the associated risks with those processes. Lot 1: The aim of this tender was to procure a Cashless Catering and Online Payment Solution in accordance with the Statement of Requirements, for use by School Catering and Education and Children’s Services (ECS). Additional information: If any mandatory (Must-Have) requirements cannot be met, the supplier should not proceed with the tender. Should a supplier continue with their bid without meeting all mandatory requirements, the Council reserves the right to disqualify on the basis of non-compliance.

About the buyer

Aberdeenshire Council is a local authority covering the North East of Scotland, running procurement through its own commercial team. Tenders are advertised on Public Contracts Scotland, the Scottish Government's national tender portal. Suppliers register on that portal to view opportunities and submit bids. Works contracts draw on Constructionline's approved contractor lists rather than open advertisement. Goods and services procurement instead favours regular open competition. A dedicated Commissioning Team inside Housing and Social Work buys community care and support services. Procurement strategy and annual reporting are developed jointly with Aberdeen City Council and Highland Council.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Aberdeenshire Council's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and construction materials.
