This process falls under the goods procurement category, specifically focusing on transport tickets, and is currently in the planning stage. Suppliers are invited to a presentation on 7 September 2021, with a registration deadline set for 5pm BST on 2 September 2021. The engagement aims to assess market capabilities in delivering a contactless EMV-based PAYG solution that integrates with the existing Transport for London (TfL) system. The event will be held in central London, unless new COVID restrictions necessitate a move to an online format. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ticketing solutions and technology providers that can deliver contactless payment systems. Organisations with expertise in transport ticketing, validation machines, and those capable of creating seamless integration with existing systems will find this engagement particularly relevant. Suppliers keen to influence the future expansion of PAYG ticketing in the South East should consider participating in this market engagement event to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts with the DfT. ## Notice The Rail Strategy and Services Group's Passenger Services Directorate within the Department for Transport ("DfT") is developing plans for the expansion of Pay As You Go (PAYG) rail ticketing in the South East of England, following publication of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail. The DfT is looking to engage with suppliers to understand market capability to deliver a full contactless EMV based PAYG solution that will seamlessly integrate with the existing Transport for London (TfL) PAYG system. The DfT will be presenting to interested suppliers on 7 September 2021 to outline the requirements and potential challenges in meeting the DfT's policy objectives. Interested suppliers can register at the Jaggaer Portal link above and will be invited to attend the presentation in-person at a central London location. If new COVID restrictions are introduced preventing in-person, the DfT will move the session to online. The deadline for registration is 5pm BST 2nd September 2021. Attendees will also be invited to complete a questionnaire after the event. Suppliers who are registered but unable to attend will be able to access the presentation materials and a summary of questions and answers after the event. This notice is not a call for competition and responses to this market engagement event will be used to inform the DfT's decisions on market capability to deliver the project. This event is in relation to expansion of PAYG in the South East of England only. Engagement on the wider reforms to ticketing and retail outlined in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail will follow at a future date. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Rail Strategy and Services Group's Passenger Services Directorate within the Department for Transport ("DfT") is developing plans for the expansion of Pay As You Go (PAYG) rail ticketing in the South East of England, following publication of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail.
