Description

TfN is working in partnership with transport Operators, Local Transport Authorities and the Department of Transport on its Integrated and Smart Travel Programme to deliver a multi-operator, multi-modal account-based ticketing solution. Central to the programme's proposition is the Account-Based Back Office for Travel (ABBOT), a shared 'back office' to be used by third-party Operators which will collect information on all trips (across multiple Operators and transport modes initially in the North of England with the realistic potential to grow to a UK wide scope excl. London). The scope of this procurement is to appoint a Merchant Acquirer for ABBOT for the acceptance of contactless EMV bank cards or similar form of payment for integrated ticketing. Particular focus of this procurement will be processing of UKCA Model 1 and 2 transactions, and the minimisation of declined transactions to reduce the cost of sale of this retail channel as well as commercially attractive transaction fees.
