Tendering Road Passenger Transport John Godfrey David Whiteside ATCO Winter Meeting 2013
Introduction • Client: DfT (part TS/WG) • TAS, Atkins + consultees (Thank you) • Response to: • Competition Commission • HoC Transport Committee • Two Phases: • Update previous guidance • Investigate barriers
Phase 1: Key Messages 1 Passenger Transport professionals need to take control Keep it simple Only ask for what you want – and be clear what it is Whatever differences you may have, talk with the operators
Phase 1 – Key Message 2 An ITU makes sense
Phase 2 – The Brief Identify the full set of challenges or barriers that exist for transport co-ordinators (England only) What hinders cost effective transport organisation? What would help you do this more effectively?
Phase 2 Key Question Apart from financial factors, what would enable YOU to do a better job in managing your transport responsibilities?
Legislation Legislation – • Are there any legislative barriers? • What practicable changes to legislation would be beneficial?
Flexible operations Flexible services • Why has DRT made so little impact? • Is it a viable and useful option?
Third Sector/CT operation Third sector operations • What could be done to enable them to contribute more to the overall transport network? • What makes it difficult to gain more social benefits?
Co-operation with Health Working with Health • Why is this difficult? • There are some successes, but why so few? • What are the barriers to closer working and saving money for both?
Your views How can you contribute? • Send your views to TAS • They can be anonymous • State the obvious, in case no-one else does • Rule nothing out
