What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLCRCA are ready to procure a solution which can accept and process cEMV and ITSO transactions from the LCRCA estate across all modes and can construct single and multimodal journeys, in addition to capping fares in line with LCRCA requirements.
The solution is to enable the delivery of "tap and go" payment systems for both cEMV media and ITSO card holders on bus, ferry and rail by September 2027.
