Bus Timetable and Route Management System

Description

Bus operators are required to register local bus services with the Traffic Commissioner at least 42 days prior to the commencement of a new service or of a service change. At the same time that the operator applies to register the service, they are required to provide a copy of the registration to any local authority within which the service will operate. On receipt of the registration, Leicestershire County Council (LCC) input the details on to its route and timetable management system. The registration data is then uploaded to the server of the Traveline website to ensure the most up to date public transport travel information is always available to the public. The contract for the current management system has now come to an end. LCC is now looking to retender for a management system to oversee the bus route and timetable data for all bus services within Leicestershire, with the ability to monitor and update service frequencies and changes to service provision The Services will be for an initial period of 2 year(s) with an option to extend the Contract upon expiry of the initial period of 2 years, at 1-year intervals (2+1+1+1). The implementation and migration periods will not form part of the initial period. Therefore, the Contract will be in place from the Effective Date and the Contract Period will run from the Commencement Date as defined in the 'Conditions Of Contract'
