Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by First Greater Western Ltd (GWR) aims to secure the supply and maintenance of approximately 39 Platform Validators for its network, specifically targeting the Cornwall region. This tender is classified under public transport services by railways, with a total estimated value of £1,200,000. The tender period concludes on 7 June 2022, and the subsequent invitation for the second stage is set for 1 July 2022. This process follows a selective procurement method, involving a negotiated procedure after a prior call for competition, as outlined in GWR’s procurement policies under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in ticketing technology and services, particularly those with capabilities in providing robust, cost-effective solutions integrated with existing systems. Companies that can offer ITSO accredited and cEMV certified devices with proven performance on the National Rail network would be particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, those adept in mobile data communication installations, user-friendly interfaces compliant with the Equalities Act 2010, and familiarity with rail ticketing products will find this tender especially relevant, as it encompasses a long-term supply relationship with options for additional devices beyond the initial procurement.
