The Authority appointed a Provider for a five-year concession contract under the Public Procurement Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 with an option to extend for a further period or periods of up to five years.

The Authority is seeking to commission the very latest technology to enable the very best route scheduling and vehicle utilisation thus maintaining the highest levels of connectivity.
