Overview

Rail Delivery Group Limited has awarded a contract to GCI Network Solutions Limited on 8 January 2026 to extend the Transaction Management System (TMS), a bespoke software service that manages ITSO smartcard ticketing schemes across the UK rail industry. The extension is a permitted modification under the Procurement Act 2023, limited to maintain operational continuity until Great British Railways transition is complete, as replacing the system now would create technical interchangeability issues and substantial duplicate costs.
