## Description
Smart Applications Management Limited (SAM) is the trading name of South West Smart Applications Limited, a Membership based central purchasing body, which owns and runs the National Mobilities Procurement Hub for its Members.
This Framework is making available for its Members the provision of RTPI Content Management Systems, Ticket Vending Machines, Electronic Ticket Machines, Accessible Rail Information and Support Units, and Transport and Data Managed Services.
These five Lots form the focal point for any modern Ticketing & Information Scheme in managing customer information, journey planning, physical sales, revenue, and a range of customer facing managed services.
Lot 1: RTPI Content Management Systems (CMS)
The RTPI CMS Lot provides a supplier-agnostic Content Management System for Real Time Passenger Information, integrating with standards like GTFS, SIRI, BODS, and RSS. It will distribute real-time schedules and multimedia content to Passenger Information Displays, managed through a secure web portal with layout control, multilingual messaging, and access management.
The systems are scalable, cloud hosted, GDPR-compliant, and include monitoring, fault management, and reporting. Delivery requires commissioning, testing, migration, and maintenance, with defined backup, PID interfacing, and documentation. Suppliers must follow formal project management, deliver training, and meet strict KPIs for availability, updates, and transparency.
Lot 2: Ticket Vending Machines
The Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) Lot focuses on providing modern, reliable, and accessible equipment aligned with operational and customer needs. The requirements highlight durability, accessibility compliance, and integration with transport systems, while ensuring wide payment options such as contactless, mobile, and cash for inclusivity. Priority has been given to cybersecurity, remote monitoring, and easy maintenance to reduce downtime and costs.
The machines also support long-term goals of sustainability, scalability, and futureproofing, using energy-efficient, recyclable components and allowing upgrades for new products or payments. User experience is central, with clear interfaces, multilingual support, and accessibility for disabled passengers. Overall, the process delivers robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective TVMs that will remain a reliable backbone of the transport network.
Lot 3: Electronic Ticket Machines
The ETM Lot covers the supply, installation, and maintenance of Electronic Ticket Machines for public transport. Machines must support ITSO smartcards, EMV contactless, mobile ticketing (QR, barcode, NFC), and cash, while integrating with back-office systems for revenue and data exchange in line with ITSO, PCI-DSS, and BODS. They should be reliable, user-friendly, process transactions quickly, adapt to future needs, and link with Intelligent Transport Systems for real-time information and vehicle tracking.
