Indicators

Legal Justification

Covid-19 has reduced demand so fares information for specifications can’t be provided and it’s unclear when passenger numbers will return to pre-Covid levels, leading to difficulty in pricing bids because fare levels are unknown. By extending contracts, we have time to obtain more realistic passenger level data. - Covid-19 has prevented us undertaking on-bus passenger surveys, a more effective tool than online ones with regard to response numbers. Recovered passenger levels will enable accurate surveys. - The Covid Support Grant will be revised/ended at some point, which is likely to impact bus operators’ income. There is concern that, when the Government support ends, marginal commercial bus routes will be withdrawn, putting pressure on the Council to subsidise replacements. The impact isn’t yet known but we wouldn’t want any decisions/outcomes to force us to amend/abandon a procurement in the near future. - Delay to implementing the Under 22s Free Travel Scheme leaves unknowns re. provision of passenger and pupil fare estimates and continued uncertainty over what the Government will be funding with regard to pupils on our registered school buses.
