What is being bought

Please note this is a Voluntary Transparency Notice and this contract variation is not yet signed (meaning the ‘Award of Contract’ section and the ‘Date of conclusion of the contract / concession award decision’ of 05/06/25 are not valid). This notice informs bidders of a change of scope in procurement notice 2024/S 000-041499 from awarding a framework agreement that subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited (as defined legally at the time of our original notice) could call-off, to a framework agreement which can be used by subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited or operators under a National Rail Contract awarded by the DfT. The Contracting Authority intends to execute this variation subject to (i) receiving no notice during the 10-day standstill period of any intention to challenge the award process; (ii) successful completion of the Ticketing Machine Procurement process and associated required approvals. The Contracting Authority will observe the 10-day standstill from the date this notice.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Maintenance and repair of ticket-issuing machinery (50316000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 509,2224 median · 22.4 average (3,784 of 9,222 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,298 of 9,222 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,8465 median · 53.5 average (702 of 1,846 with a bid count)6 average (844 of 1,846 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementYes
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe change outlined in this notice consists of correcting the scope of the procurement from awarding a framework agreement that subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited (as defined legally at the time) could call-off, to a framework agreement which can be used by subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited or operators under a National Rail Contract awarded by the DfT. This is lawful as the change meets the requirements of Chapter 4, Regulation 88 of the Utilities Contract Regulation 2016. That is to say, the change meets the requirements of Regulation 88 (1) (c) parts (i) and (ii), which states that (i) 'the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent utility could not have foreseen' and (ii) 'the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract'. The requirements of (i) are satisfied as The Customer (Southeastern) has been made aware of an incumbent supplier's intention to exit the market, which is a genuinely unforeseen event which limits the ability of the Customer to re-run the procurement, and introduces a need to widen the scope and allow for future subsidiaries of DfT Operator Limited to make use of the framework agreement (including subsidiaries who do not yet hold subsidiary legal status). The impact of this unforeseen event is the cause of the need to change the entities that can call off against the framework.
