Description
York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) is procuring consultancy support to help produce the new Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) for York and North Yorkshire, as part of the Combined Authority's duties as a Local Transport Authority.
While this work will build on the existing BSIPs produced by the City of York Council (CYC) and North Yorkshire Council (NYC), it should set out a path to deliver the Mayor's ambition to significantly improve the quality of bus services across the YNYCA area.
As part of this work we will also require the consultants to set out a detailed plan for how the current Enhanced Partnerships (EPs), which CYC and NYC have in place, could be replaced by a new YNYCA-wide EP.
All tender documentation can be found on Yortender by using the reference number 105901.
