Transport for New South Wales in Sydney is expected to finally award its back-office contract as early as this month. It’s a must-win for incumbent Cubic. But the vendor, which was thought to have wrapped up the deal, may have competition for the contract.
TfNSW’s budget for the two projects was AU$568 million (US$402.2 million). There had been some speculation that the agency would scale back that budget.

Cubic Transportation Systems is growing concerned that it could lose the account-based ticketing back-office contract with Transport for New South Wales in Sydney, with the authority possibly announcing the winner as early as this month, Mobility Payments has learned.
It’s a contract that Cubic can ill-afford to lose, after failing to keep perhaps its most-important flagship project, in London, and more recently being disqualified in Miami. The latter is a much-smaller project and is still open to filing of an objection and protest by Cubic.
