What the buyer says
The principal purpose of this preliminary market engagement is to understand how integrated ticketing could be maintained and developed under a future contract for supported local bus services. The Authority wishes to explore the practical arrangements required to enable passengers to use appropriate tickets across services operated by different providers. This may include ticket acceptance, revenue apportionment, settlement arrangements, ticketing technology, third-party dependencies, costs, mobilisation timescales and any interim arrangements required from contract commencement. Responses will help the Authority develop integrated-ticketing requirements that are proportionate, deliverable and capable of supporting a straightforward passenger experience. The engagement will also inform the Authority’s procurement strategy and future service specification but will not commit the Authority to undertaking a procurement exercise or adopting a particular solution.
