Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Bus Reform Support" is initiated by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, which operates from Leeds, United Kingdom. This planned tender falls within the transport systems consultancy services category and is part of a broader initiative to establish a bus franchising scheme following the authority's recent transition to a Mayoral Combined Authority. Key activities will include preparing an independent audit and public consultation aimed at assessing the need for the scheme. The project is expected to span approximately two years, with an upcoming future notice date set for 20 September 2021.

Firms ready to support public sector initiatives in transport reform will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.
