10. Change

Version of the previous notice to be changed : 24173-2025
Main reason for change : Buyer correction
Description : Notice that contract term is to be extended by 5 years. A contract extension was agreed with HaCon Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH (HaCon) for the continued hosting of their HAFAS Journey Planner applications, with the extension to take effect when the existing contract concludes at the end of July 2024. The expected (including original contract award spend) for the next 5 years will be €6M (excl. VAT). In accordance with Article 89.1 (b) of the Utilities directives 2014/25/EU, “contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure; for additional …services…by the original contractor, irrespective of their value, that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement where a change of contractor: (i) Cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, software, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; and (ii) Would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting entity” IÉ considers that the possibility of a change of supplier for the ‘Journey Planner’ application would introduce significant business risk, a lengthy deployment period and potentially higher costs as well as duplication of costs. HAFAS was originally procured and developed to integrate the IÉ website, apps and e-commerce solutions, which were different systems and were not connected to the existing Central Traffic Control (CTC). This was prior to the implementation of the National Train Control Centre (NTCC) Project and the development of a new TMS. HaCon has since configured their proprietary HAFAS tool for use on the IÉ network. The system provides timetable data for IÉ's website, supports two apps for IÉ, customer push pull notifications, 3rd party feeds, and interfaces with our e-commerce system ‘S3’ under the Customer First Programme. On the IÉ website delivers 35,000 timetables daily to users. The current HAFAS ‘Journey Planner’ system is integrated with IÉ’s Train Planning System (TPS) and both systems are currently being integrated with the Indra Traffic Management System (TMS) as part of the NTCC Project. HaCon and Indra are currently engaged in designing the file transfers between HAFAS, the TPS and the TMS. HAFAS ‘Journey Planner” application is heavily integrated with the Customer First Programme, in particular the S3 seat reservation system and since it interfaces with the NTA’s real-time timetabling system, The technical difficulties that would be introduced are considered to be disproportionately higher than any value that may be achieved in going back to the market.
