## Summary

The Department for Transport is conducting a direct procurement process for the contract titled "Concessionary Travel Appeals Decision Maker," which falls under the category of research and development services. This contract involves appointing decision makers to handle appeal decisions for bus operators regarding reimbursement claims under the England-wide travel concession. The tender period has ended, and the contract was awarded on 22nd March 2018, with an active value of £10,000, spanning from 23rd March 2018 until 31st March 2020. The geographical focus for delivery is the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for consultancy firms and legal services providers, particularly those specialising in transport policy and public sector decision-making, to expand their business reach. Companies with expertise in consultancy services related to transport regulations and appeal processes would be well-suited to engage in similar future tenders, thereby enhancing their collaborative presence within public procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Legislation gives bus operators a right of appeal to the Secretary of State (SoS) regarding their disputed claims for reimbursement for journeys made under the mandatory England-wide travel concession. In previous years appeal decision making has been delegated by the SoS to a decision maker acting on his behalf. A contract to appoint decision makers to determine 2017/18 appeals is required.
