## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority is seeking tenders for the supply, installation, commissioning, and support of ticket validators and supporting systems for a new scheme that allows customers to validate their journeys. This project is classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on ticket-validation machines. The total contract value is £1,764,595, which is allocated into CAPEX and OPEX components. The tender period concludes on 6th August 2021, with submissions to be made electronically or in writing. The validators are intended for installation at tram stops in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and will need to operate resiliently over a period of 12 years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in supply and installation of transport technology, particularly those specialising in hardware and software solutions for public transport systems. Companies that manufacture ticket-validation equipment, provide installation services, or develop related software packages will find this contract particularly relevant. Engaging with this procurement process could enhance visibility and growth within the increasingly competitive transport industry, especially in the UK public sector.

## Notice

We are looking to procure Validators to be situated at all our tram stops to allow customers to validate their journey start and end under the new BBYB (Buy Before You Board) scheme. Customers will be required to do this at each end of the journey. The Validators are expected to be in place and supported for twelve years. The Validators will need to accept ITSO, cEMV, and Barcodes. In total there are expected to be up to 250 Validators in place with an initial quantity of 132 installed on site together with the agreed number to allow testing and support. The Validators will be outside in high volume high passenger areas, therefore the infrastructure shall need to be highly resilient. Please note the Contract Value of PS1,764,595 has been split into 2 components CAPEX and OPEX. Each area has a ceiling value and these are CAPEX PS761,529 and OPEX PS1,003,066, with the pricing schedule providing the detail on how we will measure these.
