Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd intends to procure a partner for automated teller machine and associated currency services across its managed stations, with the arrangement potentially extended to stations operated by participating Train Operating Companies. The service would provide passengers and station users with safe, reliable and accessible access to cash and related services. The expected end-to-end scope covers installing, operating, managing, maintaining, repairing, replacing and removing ATMs. It may also include foreign currency services, technological innovation, customer-experience improvements and other value-added solutions. This is primarily a goods procurement involving ATM provision, supported by banking, financial-market administration and foreign-exchange services. Delivery would be across the United Kingdom, at Network Rail and participating train-operating-company stations, with the current station estate set out in a draft specification.

This procurement is at the planning and pre-market engagement stage. Network Rail is gathering supplier views before starting a formal procurement, to inform the specification, procurement strategy, commercial model and revenue-generation approach. It expects to hold a supplier day in London on 21 September 2026, followed by optional one-to-one sessions lasting one hour that afternoon for suppliers requesting them in their RFI response. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 16 November 2026. The planned arrangement would support onboarding additional train-operating-company stations during its term. This process is an RFI and does not invite tenders; participation will not affect any later competition, and suppliers would bear their own response or attendance costs.

The engagement will suit ATM operators, cash-services providers, banks, foreign-exchange specialists and technology or facilities partners able to deliver a managed, end-to-end service in a busy rail environment. Relevant capability includes ATM installation, estate-wide operations, monitoring, maintenance, repairs, replacement and removal, together with reliable cash availability and accessible customer service. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate approaches to station safety, sustainability, cyber security, operational resilience and passenger experience. Experience of managing dispersed public-facing locations and working with multiple transport operators would be useful, as would the ability to support future estate growth. Businesses with innovative technology, alternative commercial or revenue models, foreign-currency solutions and other value-added services should use the engagement to explain what they can provide and how it could shape the eventual specification.
