Who won: DPAYG Trials

About this contract

Request for Proposals (RFP) for the provision of technical suppliers to support the potential development of Digital PAYG trials on rail during 2025 and 2026. Rail Delivery Group acting through ATOC Limited (ATOC) and working in conjunction with partners including GBRTT, DfT, and train operating companies, is seeking proposals to support the development of plans to run several DPAYG trails, involving a range of different suppliers and train operating companies (TOCs) during 2025 and 2026. Trials will have fixed end dates, be delivered to a closed user group, and run for a 9-month duration. We expect the trials to operate using existing barcode ticketing technology together with location services i.e. GPS, through a smartphone application. This will identify the passenger's departure station and they ‘ check-in’ in-app to generate a mobile barcode that can be scanned at gatelines or on the train. Options to end the journey could include barcode scan-out at existing gatelines; GPS identifying the exit station, confirmed by an in-app ‘check-out’; or GPS alone. The customer will then be charged the best fare for their journey. The trials will operate in urban geographical areas without
