The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has established an intelligent Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) network Framework Agreement across the West Midlands area and suitable mini competitions will be undertaken when funding becomes available for various locations that may come online during the framework which is to be for a period of no longer than 10 years. This will afford the necessary investment in vehicles, staff and technology to take place in order to deliver the various potential DRT schemes.
The solution needs to be high frequency and demand responsive, capable of integrating with the WMCA's Swift ticketing and operate on-demand plus pre-booked pick up and set down journeys in each area concerned. The Framework consists of 2 Lots as below:
Lot 1 - technology platform
Lot 2 - operating platform
Please note that the anticipated maximum spend value of approximately £10m is that expected for both Lots 1 and 2, however, this is not known for definite and may ultimately be higher or lower than this figure over the duration of the framework depending on the availability of suitable funding.
