## Summary

Transport UK East Midlands Limited procured ticket vending machine supply, maintenance and support. The requirement covers the machines and ongoing servicing and support for ticket-issuing equipment, classified under maintenance and repair of ticket-issuing machinery (CPV 50316000). The buyer is a private transport utility. Delivery is specified across the United Kingdom, with no narrower delivery location identified.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Scheidt & Bachmann (UK) Limited. The award is recorded as pending. The direct award was justified on the basis that the supplier is the original equipment manufacturer and retains the intellectual property rights. The awarded value is £6 million excluding VAT (£7.2 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 17 October 2031, with a possible extension to 17 October 2032, subject to performance and mutual agreement. The planned contract signature date is 20 October 2026. The process comprised one lot.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Transport UK East Midlands Limited, this award indicates demand for ticket vending machines together with their maintenance and support across the UK. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to supply and maintain ticket-issuing machinery and provide continuing support over a multi-year contract. The stated basis for selecting the incumbent was its original-equipment-manufacturer status and ownership of the relevant intellectual property, so competing effectively would require a strong case on equipment compatibility, rights to supply or service the technology, and reliable long-term service delivery. The award went to a small or medium-sized supplier, showing that this scale of requirement was delivered by an SME, although the contract combines equipment supply with ongoing maintenance and support.
