National Procurement Framework

Legal compliant procurement framework for speedy delivery

The National Procurement Framework is a UK-wide resource for National Governments, Local Government, PTA's, Other Public Sector Bodies, and Transport Operators to have direct access to a full range of ITSO and wider ticketing services and goods, without having to complete individual, costly and time-consuming OJEU procurement exercises.

In its simplest form, the SAM Managed Service is a series of 8 individual Support Packages which can be combined to provide a complete end-to-end managed service for smart and integrated ticketing, tailored to meet the needs of an individual SAM Member.
