## Summary

The buying organisation SEStran has awarded a contract for the "SEStran-23/24-Integrated Mobility Platform" to the supplier Fuse Mobility. The procurement falls under the services category in the IT industry. This contract was initiated as a tender and went through the award stage. The contract value is £200,000 and was signed on 10th May 2023. The location of the procurement is in Edinburgh.

This contract for the Integrated Mobility Platform Scotland presents opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, consulting, software development, and support to grow their operations. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Businesses with expertise in these areas can benefit from future opportunities dependent on stakeholder uptake and buy-in. The contract aims to enhance public transport access in Scotland and support sustainable transport objectives.

## Notice

The main aims of IMPS are: * Make it easier for every resident & visitor to the SEStran and Tactran regions to make the most of the Transport ecosystem. * To secure a model for long term financial sustainability by March 2024. * Support Scotland Objectives (MIF objectives but also wider national objectives) * Make it easier for new transport modes to connect in to the transport ecosystem. The next phase of the MaaS platform will be made available to potential other public sector partners to allow them to commission further integrations/improvements to the existing apps powered by the platform or develop new 'grey label' apps from the same platform - the Integrated Mobility Platform Scotland concept.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The existing SEStran and Tactran pilots provided journey planning tools that enabled the planning, booking and paying for a variety of transport services. These tools were 'powered' by a shared MaaS platform. Whilst the MIF funding for the Tactran and SEStran pilots will end in June 2023, it will likely be 2024 before Transport Scotland make any decisions on the direction of a national MaaS platform, and whether this could be publicly funded. Ending the pilot projects before a way forward has been determined for the long term could: SS Seriously limit the opportunities to take forward the MaaS aspirations. If current MaaS projects stop, there will be a loss of confidence by the public, operators, and partner public sector services. Conversely, there could also be a lost opportunity to digitally promote new transport initiatives (such as DRT, Mobility Hubs, bike hire schemes and Community Transport etc) via MaaS platforms; SS Represent a significant loss of investment by all partners in getting this new and exciting technology established; and SS Whilst MaaS is a growth sector, there are limited MaaS suppliers in Scotland. The lack of a continuous plan for establishing and expanding MaaS will seriously affect the confidence of suppliers to invest in the programme in Scotland. It will also present a reputational risk to those public sector partners involved. IMPS aims to share the learnings from the Transport Scotland MIF projects, help public sector organisations understand how MaaS could help them to achieve their sustainable objectives, and to help MaaS services grow, learn and develop. We will do this by having open access to an IMPS website, offer advice on design and implementation of a MaaS app, offer the use of the existing apps, and also offer a new 'grey label' app via a financial contribution from the third party. Examples of further integrations and improvements IMPS will seek to implement are social media log ins, integration to Thistle Assistance, and have real time passenger information on all apps. Tactran and Sestran propose to maintain the platform and existing interfaces until a time when the Tactran and Sestran Partnership Boards can consider the long-term strategy for MaaS in their respective regions (likely to be late 2023), aided by the MIF evaluation reports due to be submitted to Transport Scotland. Additional results and opportunities will be based on the additional year of running the journey planning tools as well as promoting the programme to other partners (Spring 2024).

Options: Dependant on stakeholder uptake and buy in, further services may be required at a later stage in the contract.
