Transport for Cornwall Marketing, Information and Engagement Support
Notice Description
Transport for Cornwall is a partnership of public transport providers operating in Cornwall. The aim of the partnership is wide ranging and a formalised Enhanced Partnership is now in place. The partnership requires more resource to help drive forward our plans around branding, marketing, communications, information provision and behaviour change. We need to develop the right content and approach to appeal to the residents and visitors of Cornwall to reach new markets and drive modal shift to buses as part of our ambitious plans across the Duchy. In addition to this a 4 year, 23.5m low fares pilot was introduced aiming to reduce bus fares in Cornwall. The pilot commenced in April 2022 and ends on 31st March 2026. We are the only authority in the country to introduce this scheme which aims to understand the impact of low fares on patronage. The resource required for Transport for Cornwall needs to bring all parties together, drive change and deliver key outcomes to raise awareness of bus as a choice for some journeys and encourage more people to use buses so that patronage/revenue can be increased year on year. Together with the winning bidder, we are hoping to create a Marketing, Engagement and Communication (MEC) to provide leadership and direction to the Council and bus operators as well as co-ordinate and work alongside the partners, recognising and constantly promoting the value of working together, (rather than silo working at individual company level), with the customer at the heart of everything that is done. A strong understating of Transport for Cornwall is essential. This includes understanding the challenges that the Bus industry is facing that are preventing growth, and also, that Cornwall bus network is quite unique. We have a mix of commercial routes and routes that require subsidy from the Council to be financially viable and continue to support connectivity in a rural coastal landscape. In addition, services such as Truro Park & Ride are still recovering from the pandemic. The winning bidder will need to demonstrate a true understanding and passion for public transport in Cornwall. Understanding that in an area such as Cornwall, public transport essential to keep communities connected, reduce isolation and promote health and wellbeing benefits. It is essential that the winning Supplier grasps how different routes require a different approach in marketing, communication and community engagement, to support usage growth, protect the services and generate growth.
