(Bloomberg) -- Bain Capital and CVC Capital Partners are among private equity firms considering indicative offers for French software firm Orisha, which may be valued at as much as €2 billion ($2.1 billion) in a deal, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

US buyout firm Francisco Partners has also been weighing a potential bid, which could give it a footprint in France, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Suitors are asked to submit their bids for the Paris-based company, formerly known as DL Software, in the coming days, the people said.

Orisha publishes enterprise resource planning and point-of-sale software. It caters to the health-care, retail, distribution, construction and real estate sectors.

Private equity firm TA Associates invested in Orisha in 2021, according to its website. The firm hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. earlier this year to explore options for the software company, Bloomberg News reported in April. TA is looking to stay invested in the French software publisher alongside a new owner, the people said.

Deliberations are ongoing and the private equity firms may not proceed with offers, the people said. TA could also decide against a deal, they added. Representatives for Bain, CVC, Francisco Partners and TA declined to comment.
