We provide expert operational planning and bid design support for clients who are submitting operating bids and proposals. Our recent global clients include incumbent operators, bidding consortia or single organisations, government agencies and operators involved in potential acquisitions.
Our extensive bid support experience covers proposals for networks of all sizes from a handful of daily trips to a thousand buses. Our international experience covers all modes (bus, rail, light rail, coach and ferry), a range of operating environments and locations, and almost all types of contracts.
We have worked extensively with regulators to prepare, execute and evaluate public transport contracts. Our experience ranges from initial contract set-up, provision of tender information and advice about strategy, to evaluation, contract negotiation and implementation support.
