Provision for the Services of Ticketless Travel Surveys

Notice Description

West Midlands Trains Ltd (WMT) requires ticketless travel surveys to meet its obligations under the National Rail Contract. Within WMT's franchise, the DfT accepts passenger revenue risk, and all ticketing and fares revenues are paid to it.

The level of ticketless travel across the lifetime of the franchise is a key measure of WMT's performance. Therefore, WMT are conducting an open tender for the provision of ticketless travel surveys which will take place across its entire network. Due to the National Rail Contract commitments, WMT requires a supplier who has relevant experience of delivering surveys and producing data and reporting within the UK rail market.
