## Summary

The South East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SEStran) is conducting a procurement process for the "SEStran Regional Demand Responsive Transport Strategic Study". This project falls within the transportation industry and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method is open, and it is currently in the award stage, having concluded on January 23, 2020. The total contract value is £35,200, and the contract is active.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in transport consultancy, particularly those experienced in strategic studies and demand responsive transport solutions. Companies focusing on enhancing public transport accessibility, especially in rural areas, would be well-suited to engage with SEStran. With the ongoing implementation of Low Emission Zones in the region, consultancies can compete for a role in shaping sustainable transport frameworks, thereby promoting their services and contributing to regional transport strategies.

## Notice

The scope of this Invitation to Tender is to carry out a Strategic Study of the opportunities to further develop Demand Responsive Transport in the south east of Scotland and produce a Strategic Study report within the outlined timescale. Findings and recommendations will inform the rewrite of the SEStran Regional Transport Strategy. DRT can close gaps in public transport provision and improve accessibility, especially in rural areas. DRT has the potential to play an increasingly important role in an overall transport network within the SEStran region. The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 committed the City of Edinburgh Council to develop and operate a new Low Emission Zone (LEZ). DRT is one of a range of complementary and associated measures across city regions that can help to manage impacts on passengers / commuters arising through the implementation of LEZs.
