## Summary

The Milton Keynes Council is in the planning stage of its procurement process for the "Expression of Interest - Mass Rapid Transit concept." This initiative is part of the council's long-term growth strategy aimed at facilitating better public transport options within the borough, which is projected to grow to a population of about 410,000 by 2050. Interested suppliers are invited to engage by the end date of February 26, 2021, to contribute to the development of the Mass Rapid Transit network, which will enhance accessibility and encourage energy-efficient transport options in Milton Keynes, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those focused on public transport innovations, urban planning, and infrastructure development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the project is designed to foster inclusive competition. Companies that can provide expert insights or technological solutions related to mass transit systems would be well-positioned to contribute to the success of this ambitious transportation strategy.

## Notice

Milton Keynes Council is seeking expressions of interest from those suppliers who are interested in assisting the Council with its Mass Rapid Transport Strategy development. The Milton Keynes Strategy for 2050 (adopted by Council January 2021 as an annex to the Council Plan) presents a long-term growth strategy for the growth of Milton Keynes borough to a population of around 410,000 people (from around 270,000 people today), set within a context of growth across the wider Oxford-Cambridge Arc. Among its seven big ambitions the strategy aims to "make it easier for everyone to travel on foot, by bike and with better public transport". A major part of the strategy is to introduce a Mass Rapid Transit network for the city, helping people move about in a more energy efficient way. It will also support reduced dependence on private car travel, higher density development, improved accessibility and social inclusion, and decarbonisation. The strategy aims for a phased delivery of MRT so that a complete network is operational by 2050.
