Pay As You Go (PAYG) Tap Converter Service (TCS)

Description

This PIN has been issued by Rail Settlement Plan (RSP) Limited, trading as Rail Delivery Group (RDG) under the auspices of its members Train Operating Companies (TOC) who operate main line passenger train services in the United Kingdom (TOCs). RDG may look to procure a Tap Converter Service (TCS) to support regional and national implementations of Pay As You Go (PAYG) on rail. The TCS, will allow PAYG Operators to submit taps (from multiple token types) from which it will construct journeys and determine the best available fare based on the latest available rail data (e.g. timetable, disruption, fares etc). It will then provide the calculated fare information to the PAYG Operator to charge the customer and submit settlement records to the rail industry settlement engine (LENNON). TCS will also provide a series of management functions and facilitate access to the data it holds to support the PAYG Operator. This Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) acts to instigate the following: - to allow RDG to reduce the tendering periods if a procurement exercise is commenced - to provide advance notice to the market of an imminent procurement activity to procure a PAYG/TCS - to provide an initial outline of the scope of services, - allow participants to take part in a market sounding exercise, prior to the commencement of the procurement. In accordance with the expectations of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, RDG expects to novate the contracts associated with this solution to an appropriate company within Great British Railways in due course.
