Summary of the contracting process

The Rail Delivery Group, acting through ATOC Limited, initiated a tender process to support the development of Digital PAYG (DPAYG) trials on rail during 2025 and 2026. The tender, titled "DPAYG Trials," falls under the utilities industry category and is intended to bring technical support to the trials using barcode ticketing technology and GPS-based location services. The buying organisation is located in London, United Kingdom. ATOC Limited has utilised an open procurement method, allowing proposals until 2 April 2025, with an anticipated start date for the contract period from 14 June 2025 to 31 May 2026. The procurement stage is active, with various key activities and deadlines set throughout the process, culminating in an award decision by 11 May 2025.

These trials provide substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for technology and transportation service companies specialising in fare collection, railway transport services, and mobile application development. Businesses with expertise in integrating location services with ticketing technologies would be well-suited for this tender. Additionally, those adept in providing user-friendly and efficient technical solutions for urban transport systems stand to benefit significantly. As the trials may include various extensions and options for modifications, there is the potential for long-term engagement and development of innovative transport solutions in urban areas without existing or planned contactless schemes.
