This initiative aims to enhance transport connections in rural areas, providing new access for residents and businesses. The tender is classified under IT services with a deadline for responses set for 29th January 2021. Suppliers are invited to contribute by completing a questionnaire detailing their capabilities related to technology and transport services. The responses will aid the Council in assessing available options and planning future procurement avenues. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, software development, and consultancy within the IT sector. Companies that can offer innovative transport solutions, inclusive booking systems, or real-time tracking technology will be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the Council seeks to understand a range of methodologies and technologies that can effectively meet community needs. ## Notice Hertfordshire County Council is carrying out some pre-procurement market engagement for a Demand Responsive Transport Service. Therefore, we are inviting suppliers to complete the questionnaire for either the technology , the transport or suppliers who are able to deliver both services. The objective of this project is designed to improve transport links in rural areas and to provide new links both for residents and harder to reach business locations. The Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) service would offer a single zone for travel to points which are also within this zone. Booking for this transport would be available to passengers via both an app and a telephone service in order to remain an inclusive service; the booking system would update users with live projections of the bus arrival times and real-time vehicle tracking systems. Please download and complete the attached questionnaire and submit it by the due date in the system. This stage of the project allows the Council to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the options; technologies; methodologies; and/or solutions available to deliver its outcomes. Furthermore, this process enables organisations to effectively plan for any potential forthcoming procurement. The Council will consider the input and responses received as part of this PPME to help inform the Council's options and further decision making.
