The contract will cover all the necessary development and customisation needed for the booking system to fulfil the needs described in this document as well as any additional needs that may arise during the lifetime of the contract. The contract will also include the acquisition of hardware needed to support the booking system, which could include dedicated ticket printers and possibly badge printers and ticket scanners for each venue.
