What is being bought
It is our intention to undertake an extension and variation to an existing contract. The contract variation is for the extension of existing provision of the fares calculation engine for GWR's Account Based Ticketing Scheme for a period of 27 months. Such extension and variation will provide an interim solution pending review and definition of the required longer-term strategy and subsequent procurement process.

Procedure rationaleThis contract award and extension represent the most prudent and strategically sound course of action, ensuring continuity of service, operational resilience, and minimal organisational disruption. A change in contracting partner at this stage would give rise to significant technical compatibility and interoperability challenges, as well as considerable duplication of cost. The proposed approach enables the continued delivery of essential services at a reduced overall cost, with limited incremental implementation expenditure, during a period of substantial industry reform and uncertainty. This arrangement is intended as an interim solution for a period of 27 months. Before the extension expires, we will undertake a comprehensive review, of market conditions, regulatory developments, and technological options, to inform the future procurement process, in full compliance with the applicable requirements.
