Ticket-validation machines

Tender description

The Authority requires additional deliveries from the original supplier, Parkeon Transit Limited, which are intended both as a partial replacement of, and extension to, existing supplies (on-board ticketing equipment and supporting IT infrastructure for a number of PSO operators appointed under public service contracts with the Authority). A change of supplier would oblige the Authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, in particular with regard to integration into, and maintaining stability in, existing Authority operating environments and systems. The additional deliveries envisaged by this notice are intended as an interim solution, as the Authority intends to separately progress a procurement for a next generation ticketing solution.
