Award of Contracts for the Delivery of Real Time Passenger Information
A primary objective for the Travel & Transport Group is to plan for and manage the movement of people and transport in the county. Providing accessible information on bus services is key to this. The Surrey ‘real time passenger information’ system (RTPI) provides members of the public with live bus arrival information and enables bus operators to manage their daily operation and performance of bus services. RTPI complements other passenger transport initiatives and schemes to make travelling by bus an efficient and attractive alternative to less sustainable travel and reduces reliance on the car. The RTPI system is operated in partnership with bus operators to provide an enhanced passenger transport experience for the public and assist with increasing patronage across the bus network (including both commercial and Council supported bus services). Increased patronage improves the commercial viability of services, which in turn can lead to reductions in the Council’s financial support for socially necessary bus services. The quality of bus services is at risk without the continued provision and development of an effective RTPI system for Surrey. Decision: 1. That the results of the procurement process (as set out in the report submitted as agenda item 6 in Part 2 of the agenda) be noted.
2. That the award of a contract to the supplier named and on the basis set out in the report submitted as agenda item 6 in Part 2 of the agenda be approved. |
