- prompt, courteous, and well-informed resolution of any queries around payment,
- card payment channels appropriate to business needs (i.e. mixture of high volume/value and high value/low volume, online and in-person, payment acceptance in different currencies, and mobile/'pop-up' events, and

The University is also currently procuring a new EPOS system to support expansion and enhancement of its Catering facilities, and plans to procure this element via the 'TUCO EPOS Hardware and Software Systems' framework. The University expects collaboration with the eventual awarded TUCO supplier, which should not come at additional cost to the University.
For avoidance of doubt, the 'Merchant Acquirer' tender is separate to the above mentioned EPOS tender, however there will be a need for the awarded supplier via this procurement exercise to work alongside the EPOS awarded supplier.
