Summary of the contracting process

South Western Railway Limited has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Smartcard Printer Maintenance & Bureau Services" in the services industry category. The contract, awarded through a direct procurement method, aims to ensure continuity in smartcard services vital for their operations. Located in London, the buyer operates across various UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract was awarded on 20th May 2026, with the service set to commence on 20th June 2026, and will initially run until 31st May 2027, with potential extensions if required by the broader sector strategy.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in smartcard technology and maintenance services. EUCLID LIMITED, an SME based in Waterlooville, has been honoured with the contract award, reflecting a synergy for providers with expertise in ticket printers and repair services. Businesses with similar capabilities and experience in public sector contracts could find significant prospects in collaborating with organisations like South Western Railway Limited, especially in service areas aligned with direct award procurement processes.

Notice Title

Provision of Smartcard Printer Maintenance & Bureau Services

Notice Description

Smartcard Printer Maintenance & Bureau Services for South Western Railway retail provision.

Procurement Information

To ensure continuity of this business critical requirement, we are proposing a 1 +1 year Direct Award, the term of the proposed agreement has been designed to enable sufficient time for SWRL to align with future GBR smartcard strategy. The base 1 year contract value would fall below threshold; however, to mitigate the risk of delays to the GBR solution, and avoid potential further disaggregation, a 1-year optional extension has been included. If exercised, this extension would push the total contract value above threshold. Therefore, above-threshold Direct Award approval is requested in this paper. The Procurement risk is deemed low, as Euclid is the recognised OEM of the existing printers, an RDG framework supplier for smartcard bureau services and as the GBR position is currently unknown, a tender process is not viable to deliver a most advantageous tender (MAT) under PA23. During the Initial Term of the Direct Award period SWR will engage with DfTO to understand the Fares and Retailing strategy to ensure SWRL alignment and inform the decision to action the 1 year option embedded into this Direct Award approval request.
