TENDERING FOR LOCAL AUTHORITY SUBSIDISED BUS SERVICES

The government's intention is to provide a framework for payment of subsidy for bus services which local authorities believe necessary but which the free market will not provide. This subsidy should be "transparent", should not discriminate between operators, and should not inhibit competition for the supply of services. This consultation document outlines proposals concerning the tendering process, the form of tenders, numbers of services to be covered by tenders, maximum term of contracts, and period of transition.
