Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland is planning a procurement process for the "Integrated Travel In Scotland - Smart Ticketing Infrastructure" initiative, which includes two service contracts: the Transport Application Back Office (TABO) and the National ePurse. This project falls under the transport industry category, with an estimated total value of £5 million. An information day is scheduled for 10:00 on 20 March 2017, in Glasgow, to provide potential suppliers with insights into the project details. Contract Notices for these services are expected to be published by the end of March 2017.

Engaging in this tender allows companies to showcase their expertise in developing efficient systems that enhance public transport services in Scotland. Businesses that are well-acquainted with financial regulations and possess the capability to meet the requirements of FCA Electronic Money regulations would be particularly well-suited to compete for these contracts.
