## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Rail Settlement Plan Ltd from London, focuses on the Barcode Scalability Project designed to enhance performance of gateline barcode scanners utilised across the UK. The procurement falls under the category of railway transport services and is associated with the utilities special regime. This direct award contract was initiated via a single-supplier intellectual property exclusive rights rationale, targeting Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd as they are the original developer of the barcode software solution. The award stage began on 28 July 2025, with the contract actively spanning from 28 July 2025 to 31 July 2026, and potential renewal options extending to 31 December 2026.

This tender creates growth opportunities in the transportation technology sector, particularly for businesses involved in railway transport services and software development. With Rail Settlement Plan Ltd as the buying organisation and Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd already engaged as the supplier, opportunities exist for large-scale businesses specialising in ticket barrier solutions and barcode scanner enhancements. Such companies can leverage this procurement for expanding their existing offerings, gaining further recognition and establishing their presence in the UK transport sector.

## Notice

The enhancements will improve the performance of the gateline barcode scanner solution, including reducing incorrect rejections of customers tickets, improving information provided both to staff and customers and improving reporting of barcode scans.

### Procurement Information

Cubic is the original developer and sole owner of the intellectual property rights (IPR) associated with its barcode software solution first created in 2010, which is deployed onto Cubic's own ticket barrier product line used extensively across the UK. The scope of the barcode scalability project constitutes a new product release that builds upon and enhances the existing solution.
