This process seeks to identify innovative fraud prevention solutions in response to the complex and digital nature of current fraud threats within the railway industry. The procurement is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on fraud audit services, and it addresses special utility regulation requirements. Key dates include an early market engagement document due by 17th October 2025. This market engagement will help plan a formal procurement likely informed by insights from participants. The procurement's contract period spans from 3rd May 2026 to 30th April 2030, with a potential renewal extending to 1st May 2035. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital fraud prevention technologies, data analytics, and operational efficiency within the transportation sector. Companies developing advanced fraud detection and analysis tools, particularly those capable of integrating disparate datasets across various platforms, may find this engagement advantageous. GTR is looking for solutions that strike a balance between innovation and compliance, suggesting that providers with robust, forward-thinking strategies interested in long-term collaboration could experience substantial growth from participation in this procurement. Such businesses will not only enhance their market presence but also contribute to improving customer confidence and operational effectiveness in public transport services. ## Notice GTR are going out to market because the scale and complexity of fraud threats and require a step change in capability. The shift towards digital ticketing and the fragmented nature of industry data demand innovative tools that can provide holistic insight, reduce manual effort, and strengthen the integrity of our fraud investigations. Through this market engagement, GTR aims to build a clear understanding of the solutions available, the maturity of relevant technologies, and the approaches that suppliers are taking to balance innovation with compliance. This will inform the design of a future procurement process and help ensure that any eventual investment delivers measurable improvements in fraud prevention, operational efficiency, and customer confidence. GTR is seeking to engage with the market to understand the capabilities, innovations, and approaches currently available to support our ambition of transforming how we detect, analyse, and prevent fraud. Our current operational environment is highly manual, fragmented, and dependent on disparate datasets held across multiple internal systems and third-party retailers. This limits our ability to generate timely, reliable intelligence, and constrains our fraud specialists from focusing on higher-value activities.
