This initiative falls under the railway transport services category and targets urban areas in the UK without existing or planned contactless card or smartcard-based PAYG schemes, using mobile phone location services and barcode technology. Key procurement dates include the end of the tender period on 21st November 2024 and a future notice date on 1st February 2025. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, and ATOC will conduct a Supplier Information Event as specified in the RFI documentation. This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport technologies, mobile application development, and digital payment systems. Companies that can provide innovative technical solutions and have experience in large-scale transport trials are well-suited to participate. Engaging in this project could enhance your business's market presence and expertise in digital payment methods, facilitating potential future collaborations with prominent transport authorities and train operating companies in the UK. This RFI aims to gauge market capability and interest, prioritising suppliers who can partake in market awareness exercises before a possible formal procurement process begins. ## Notice Request for Information (RFI) for technical suppliers to support the potential development of Digital PAYG trials on rail during 2025 and 2026. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Rail Delivery Group acting through ATOC Limited (ATOC) and working in conjunction with partners including GBRTT, DfT, and train operating companies, is seeking market information to support the potential development of plans to run a number of trials of Digital Pay-As-You-Go (DPAYG) on Mobile during 2025 and 2026. In this case, DPAYG on Mobile means using smartphone location services to help determine passengers' origin and destination. The potential trials would operate in urban geographical areas without existing or planned contactless card or smartcard-based PAYG schemes, and make use of existing barcode technology. The purpose of this notice is to establish the feasibility of the DPAYG trials and seek market engagement with potential trial suppliers. Full details of the requirements so far as relevant to this notice and the Request for Information are included in separate documentation available on request. This notice also acts to instigate the following: - to allow ATOC to reduce the tendering periods if a procurement exercise is commenced; - to provide advance notice to the market of a potential procurement activity to procure DPAYG Trials; - to provide an initial outline of the scope of services; and - allow participants to take part in a market awareness exercise, prior to the potential commencement of a procurement exercise. ATOC will hold a Supplier Information Event with those respondents who are interested in taking part. The Supplier Information Event will take place on the date specified in the RFI documentation. This notice does not commit ATOC to conduct the procurement exercise; tenderers who incur costs as a result of this notice do so at their own risk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034424-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 21 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | 1 Feb 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ATOC LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 60 - Transport services (excl.
