## Summary

Rail Settlement Plan Ltd, a public authority and sub-central government body located in London, United Kingdom, has announced a completed procurement process titled "Barcode Service Setup." The aim was to manage the Barcode service's transition from contracts held by Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd directly with Train Operating Companies (TOCs) to a single centralised contract with the Rail Delivery Group (RDG). This direct award procurement, categorised under railway transport services, was carried out under the legal mandate defined by the UKPGA 2023/54 with a procurement method rationale of single supplier intellectual property and exclusive rights. The process has reached the award and contract stages, with the contract period spanning from 8th September 2025 to 31st July 2026 and possibly extending until 31st December 2026.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities, chiefly for large-scale enterprises specialising in railway transport services or utilities. Businesses that can deliver support services for railway transport, particularly those with intellectual property or exclusive expertise in barcode management systems, are highly suited to offer competitive solutions. The direct award approach signifies an opportunity for sole-source vendors like Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd to leverage their intellectual resources and capitalise on existing industry relationships and expertise. The contract's financial valuation, with a gross amount of GBP 772,800, suggests significant business potential for firms capable of delivering high-value technical solutions, possibly necessitating minor changes in scope to optimise service delivery.

## Notice

The project is to prepare the management of the Barcode service for a future transition from the current contracts that Cubic hold directly with TOCs to a single centralised contract with RDG.
