## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has completed a procurement process titled "Split Ticketing Research" within the services category, specifically under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. This initiative aimed to create a flexible model to estimate the revenue impact of split ticketing on the Great Britain's rail industry. The contract, awarded to Steer Davies & Gleave Limited for £65,000, started on 13th February 2020 and concluded on 31st March 2020. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period ended on 8th January 2020.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in transport and data analysis services, particularly those with capabilities in developing flexible financial models. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in engineering and analytical frameworks would be particularly suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging in such tenders can enable these businesses to expand their portfolios and foster collaborations with key public sector stakeholders like the Department for Transport.

## Notice

The Department for Transport (the DfT, Authority) requires an accurate and robust way to estimate the impact on rail revenues resulting from more passengers undertaking split ticketing. To reach this estimate the DfT requires a flexible model to be created which estimates the overall revenue impact on the GB rail industry as well as the impact on all train operating companies (TOCs). As the landscape around split ticketing is likely to evolve over time it would be useful to include tools to enable model flexibility. One example could be including functionality to allow impacts to be scaled differently according to third party ticket retailer market share. It is also assumed the model will be easily updatable if new information were to become available.
