Summary of the contracting process

Southeastern Railway (SE Trains Limited) is undertaking a "Ticketing Machine Procurement" for the maintenance and repair of ticket-issuing machinery, covering various lots such as Ticket Vending Machines, Ticket Office Machines, and Mobile Ticket Issuing Systems. The procurement process has reached the contract award stage as of 12th June 2025. This limited procurement method was negotiated without publication due to unforeseeable events necessitating extreme urgency alterations to the originally anticipated framework agreement. The scope change now permits the framework agreement to be utilised by subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited and operators under a National Rail Contract by the Department for Transport within the United Kingdom.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialised in the maintenance and repair of ticket-issuing machinery, particularly those capable of supplying sophisticated ticket vending and issuing systems. The modification in the procurement scope allows a broader pool of eligible entities to participate, making this a promising opportunity for businesses looking to establish or expand their services within the UK railway transport services sector. Companies with experience and capabilities in delivering complex transport-related services will find this tender well-aligned with their skills and business objectives.

Notice Title

Ticketing Machine Procurement

Notice Description

Please note this is a Voluntary Transparency Notice and this contract variation is not yet signed (meaning the 'Award of Contract' section and the 'Date of conclusion of the contract / concession award decision' of 05/06/25 are not valid). This notice informs bidders of a change of scope in procurement notice 2024/S 000-041499 from awarding a framework agreement that subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited (as defined legally at the time of our original notice) could call-off, to a framework agreement which can be used by subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited or operators under a National Rail Contract awarded by the DfT. The Contracting Authority intends to execute this variation subject to (i) receiving no notice during the 10-day standstill period of any intention to challenge the award process; (ii) successful completion of the Ticketing Machine Procurement process and associated required approvals. The Contracting Authority will observe the 10-day standstill from the date this notice.

Procurement Information

The change outlined in this notice consists of correcting the scope of the procurement from awarding a framework agreement that subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited (as defined legally at the time) could call-off, to a framework agreement which can be used by subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited or operators under a National Rail Contract awarded by the DfT. This is lawful as the change meets the requirements of Chapter 4, Regulation 88 of the Utilities Contract Regulation 2016. That is to say, the change meets the requirements of Regulation 88 (1) (c) parts (i) and (ii), which states that (i) 'the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent utility could not have foreseen' and (ii) 'the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract'. The requirements of (i) are satisfied as The Customer (Southeastern) has been made aware of an incumbent supplier's intention to exit the market, which is a genuinely unforeseen event which limits the ability of the Customer to re-run the procurement, and introduces a need to widen the scope and allow for future subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited to make use of the framework agreement (including subsidiaries who do not yet hold subsidiary legal status). The impact of this unforeseen event is the cause of the need to change the entities that can call off against the framework.
