The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has completed a public procurement process for a consultancy service titled "Supertram Fares Strategy". This procurement falls under the industry category of business analysis consultancy services, with a specific focus on evaluating fare strategies to influence patronage, revenue, and accessibility. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure with the contract value set at £50,000. The tender period concluded on 17th March 2025, and the contract period was set from 7th April to 16th June 2025. The opportunity was available to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), and the tender has now progressed to the award stage, with The TAS Partnership Limited being the successful supplier.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses involved in business analysis and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in public transport fare strategies and economic analysis. SMEs and VCSEs were especially encouraged to participate due to the suitability criteria, which supported smaller organisations in accessing public sector work. The tender's focus on enhancing public transport systems through strategic fare adjustments could provide growth potential for consultancy firms specialising in transport, economic policy, and data analysis.
