Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport procured a rail fares product management service, classified as technical support services (CPV 71356300). The requirement concerns managing and supporting products associated with rail fares and settlement across the UK and international locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The service is categorised as a public service procurement. Rail Settlement Plan Limited, a large organisation based in London, is the selected supplier. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses with specialist rail fares, rail settlement, transport product management or related technical support capability, particularly those able to support a geographically broad rail industry service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Rail Settlement Plan Limited on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £85,000, inclusive of the stated currency, with an award and contract period running from 1 May 2022 to 30 June 2028. The wider estimated procurement value is £611,583. It used a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold, rather than an open competition. The contract extension notice records an active award. The original tender submission deadline was 29 April 2022 at 5pm. The Department for Transport is the buyer. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for specialist rail fares product management and technical support over a multi-year period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical knowledge of rail fares products, the systems and processes used to manage rail ticketing and settlement, and the operational needs of the Department for Transport and the wider rail sector. Experience supporting services that span the United Kingdom and international territories would be relevant, as would the ability to maintain dependable technical services across a broad user and stakeholder base. The selected supplier’s scale also indicates that delivery capacity, continuity and the ability to support a nationally significant transport function are important commercial considerations.
