The procurement falls under the utilities industry category and is located in London, United Kingdom. This process utilised a direct award method, recognising the specialised nature and historical refinement of the algorithm, integral to National Rail services. The procurement status is marked as complete, with the most recent key date of signing being on 7th August 2025, and the contract period extending to 31st March 2027, with options for renewal until 2029. The procurement aligns with legal mandate 2023/54, ensuring compliance with sub-central government directives. This tender represents a significant opportunity for business growth, particularly for large organisations with expertise in supporting railway transport services. The direct award method underscores the specialised and entrenched technology requirements, signifying that businesses such as SilverRail, which possess established systems compatible with RDG's operations, are favoured. Companies that can innovate within the constraints of existing systems and provide seamless integration are well-suited to compete, taking advantage of the ongoing service demands and technical interdependencies inherent in the IPTIS framework. ## Notice Extension of previously procured services ### Procurement Information The IPTIS algorithm has been refined over many years to meet the specific requirements of RDG and SilverRail clients. Due to the complexity of features built around this system, replacing it would disrupt numerous interconnected National Rail services, including the nationalrail.co.uk website. Introducing a new journey planner engine would likely lead to system incompatibilities, which could degrade customer experience, cause outages, and harm RDG's reputation. A wide network of over 100 downstream industry organisations--including TOCs and third-party retailers--depend on data feeds generated by IPTIS. Critical systems such as IDMS (Industry Data Management System), the Disruption API, and the Bulletins service all rely on IPTIS data to function effectively. Additionally, the NRE Contact Centre depends on a bespoke interface built on this platform to deliver accurate and timely information to customers. The interdependencies between these systems are extensive and deeply embedded. Changing the core journey planning engine would trigger cascading technical and operational challenges, requiring significant reengineering of APIs, frontend platforms, and third-party systems. Furthermore, differences in data schemas and endpoints would necessitate broad changes across the ecosystem, some involving data structures originating from IDMS itself. Given the critical role these services play in RDG's operations and their alignment with mandated directives and stakeholder expectations from the DfT, maintaining continuity and compatibility is essential. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014522-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jul 2025 | | Contract period | 6 Aug 2025 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £6,240,000 | | Contracts value | £6,240,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRAIN INFORMATION SERVICES LTD | | Additional buyers | TRAIN INFORMATION SYSTEMS LTD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC4V 3DS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Castle Baynard | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SILVERRAIL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
