Procurement Information
This contract is to provide a ticket issuing system to retail tickets and associated products in Booking Offices, Station concourses and On-board trains and ; validation service for barcode tickets and reads ITSO smart-cards connected to the RDG industry TMS system. Due to a number of factors not least industry reform, business continuity and system resilience, affordability and minimization of change impact, this contract award and extension is deemed to be the optimal approach to provide a sustainable solution for the period concerned as it is clear the change of contracting partner at this juncture would result in the supply having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. This is due to the situation that the current service uses technology that is significantly integrated into many parts of Avanti's business, and to move the services away from the current service partner would involve significant technical migration and implementation activities. Any technical or software architecture changes would mean that there will be additional costs, along with lost commercial benefits due to supporting and or adding more than one system at this juncture. This contract extension will ensure business continuity as there will be no technical or operational disruption of the services. The two-year contract extension is an interim solution pending further market review,analysis and testing which will consider influencing factors impacting future solutions,technologies, and business impact.
