GB-London: Traveline and PlusBus Web Services

NOTE: This notice was updated on 21 May 2024 for the following reason: Addition of link to response/access code in Description(Traveline information Limited (TIL) is owned and managed by public transport stakeholders from across the public and private sector and is a not-for-profit limited company which receives no public funding. Our Board members represent all the major bus groups and independent bus operators, local authorities, passengers, and the Rail Delivery Group. The Traveline website offers multi-modal journey planning and includes every bus, coach, rail, ferry and light rail route in England, Scotland and Wales. It is considered as the industry's journey planner and its development is a result of the active collaboration of all Board members towards a high-quality offer for customers to support increased use of public transport. PlusBus is an integrated transport rail product which offers unlimited multi-operator bus and tram travel within each PlusBus zone to rail customers as part of their rail ticket purchase. The ticket offer is not part of this procurement, only the PlusBus website. Traveline Data is a portal for open data users that consume TIL's Traveline National Dataset, NextBuses API, National Operator Database, and provides links and signposts to other public transport resources. TIL owns traveline.info, PlusBus.info, and travelinedata.org. Each of these sites has been built separately over time by different suppliers as the TIL offer has evolved, and each provides separate but related services. TIL would now like to bring its web offerings into one family, with a common look and feel and customer experience across the sites. The tender has been split into 4 Lots to allow for the potential for a single supplier, including a consortium, for two or more lots, for single suppliers per lot, or for a blend, and for composite pricing to be provided. This is a 3+2 year contract with options to extend)
