Notice Information
Notice Title
Purchase of Passenger Automatic Ticket Gates for Various Stations
Notice Description
GA Trains Limited (GATL) requires passenger automatic ticket gates (ATGs) to be manufactured, supplied, installed, and commissioned in various stations across its route network. This is in line with the PS33.4million fund to nationally crack down on fare evasion (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/334-million-to-fund-new-gateline-improvements). Five (5) stations have been identified in the initial tranche - Hertford East, Manningtree, Rayleigh, Ware, and Witham - with potential for ATGs to be installed at Diss and Stowmarket also. There may also be requirements for future stations to come into scope subject to business review and funding, and the contract shall allow for future requirements to be incorporated into the contract through a formal variation process between GATL and the supplier.
Procurement Information
The requirement can only be met by a particular supplier due to intellectual property rights and technical reasons. GATL's existing estate of ATGs have been supplied, installed, and maintained by Cubic Transportation Systems Limited with integrations with Transport for London Oyster pay-as-you-go (PAYG) and contactless-pay-as-you-go (CPAYG) systems. The supplier is currently the only supplier with interoperability with this requirement, and four of the initial five stations within scope are within either CPAYG or CPAYG and PAYG boundaries. The ATGs are maintained under a separate agreement by the same supplier due to the same intellectual property and exclusivity rights. The ATGs incorporate proprietary technology specifically designed for their intended application which is not available from other suppliers, making the supplier the only provider capable of meeting the requirements.
