    Brief

    Northern Trains Limited seeks a qualified supplier to develop and implement a replacement Ticket Retailing & Validation solution by December 2026, as the current supplier is exiting the UK rail ticketing market. This is a critical infrastructure requirement to maintain continuous ticket sales and validation operations across all channels. The solution must provide: a complete ticket issuing system compatible with all devices (on-train and ticket office); full retail options available from day one; Rail Delivery Group (RDG) accreditation and compliance; seamless integration with the PAYG EMV programme; support for ITSO PAYG smartcards and TfGM contactless EMV capabilities; acceptance of all major customer payment types; comprehensive fare types and travel options; end-of-shift accounting functionality; and ticket inspection and validation capabilities. Successful bidders must demonstrate the ability to meet strict project delivery timelines, provide detailed architecture descriptions of all system components, and ensure compliance with industry standards. This is a high-priority procurement for a major UK rail operator.
