## Summary

The Department for Transport is planning a procurement process for the Bus Open Data Support and Continuous Improvement with a total value of £24,000,000. The procurement falls under the IT services category and is set to take place early in 2025. The Department will be using a tender initiation type to source services primarily in the UK with occasional attendance required in Westminster. The expected future notice date for this opportunity is October 1, 2024.

This tender by the Department for Transport provides an opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, especially those involved in consulting, software development, and Internet support. Companies well-versed in delivering digital services and open data solutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. By supporting the Bus Open Data service, businesses have the chance to contribute to the digital transformation of bus services across England, helping passengers access real-time service updates and enhance their overall travel experience.

## Notice

This procurement will be to support the Bus Open Data service. In 2020, DfT launched the Bus Open Data Service (BODS) a digital service for making bus service information available as open data, as required by the Public Service Vehicles (Open Data) (England) Regulations. BODS was created to support the digital transformation of bus services and deliver on a commitment to open up bus data across England, as outlined in Section 18 of the Bus Services Act (2017), allowing the Secretary of State (Transport) to legislate and require bus operators to open data for local bus services across England on routes and timetables, fares and tickets and location information from 2020. It is expected that the provision of high quality, accurate and open data will (further downstream) help passengers plan journeys, find best value tickets and get real time service updates whatever part of England they are in.
