Lot Information

Lot 1

There are currently two elements to the central smart ticketing infrastructure system operated by the Scottish Ministers, one element is the ITSO central smart ticketing system and the second element is a parallel non-ITSO processing engine Transport Application Back Office (TABO). TABO uses the data from public transport operators in Scotland collected by the ITSO system to calculate and determine the eligible concessionary reimbursement and to report on and analyse this data. The current TABO contract is due to expire. Consequently, Transport Scotland are now looking to procure a new replacement (including appropriate upgrades) TABO processing engine contract.

Phase 1 will include replacement of the existing TABO system and feature enhancement. Phase 2 will include further development of the system, including ITSO and non-ITSO based Account Based Ticketing (ABT), with batching of transaction before being settled to an account. ePurse Contract It is anticipated the ePurse contract will include: - ITSO Type 2 ePurse - Generate reports that support the delivery of the ePurse scheme - Calculate ePurse transaction payments due to operators - Calculate ePurse top-up payments due from operators - Support post issuance ePurse product creation on any compatible smartcard with an ITSO shell - customer facing web services A prerequisite of the ePurse contract, shall be that the Supplier must be registered and be accredited by the FCA Electronic Money regulations 2011 and registered with the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Furthermore, Transport Scotland are also looking to procure a new settlement system contract to support a Scottish National ePurse at this time.

Phase 2 will include further development of the system, including ITSO and non-ITSO based Account Based Ticketing (ABT), with batching of transaction before being settled to an account. ePurse Contract It is anticipated the ePurse contract will include: - ITSO Type 2 ePurse - Generate reports that support the delivery of the ePurse scheme - Calculate ePurse transaction payments due to operators - Calculate ePurse top-up payments due from operators - Support post issuance ePurse product creation on any compatible smartcard with an ITSO shell - customer facing web services A prerequisite of the ePurse contract, shall be that the Supplier must be registered and be accredited by the FCA Electronic Money regulations 2011 and registered with the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.",
