Lot Division
1 | Welsh Bus Data Service (WBDS) The aim of the Welsh Bus Data Service (WBDS) is to improve the quality and availability of information about buses in Wales for passengers, public sector decision makers, third party data services, researchers and other data consumers. The successful supplier will offer innovative and cost-effective solutions to improve and maintain data quality and will be capable of extending the service to support other transport modes and active travel if required. Examples of the benefits of this service will be access to real time prediction of bus arrival times for all bus stops in Wales and demonstrably secure systems and processes for handling confidential data used to support the planning of bus services. Lot 1 Welsh Bus Data Service will provide a system and service to receive, store, process and share operational and financial data about buses in Wales. This means TfW can use the information to inform delivery of bus projects and can provide data to third party apps for journey planning, to local authorities for contract management, to services such as the BES payment and reconciliation portal and to Welsh Government to help to inform policy making. This service will replace and upgrade the systems that Traveline use for bus data collection and management so that all parties can be assured of the quality of the data that is being provided. Lot 1 also has 5 additional option packages that Tenderers are required to bid and price against: - Option 1 – Managed Service - Option 2 – Analytics Package - Option 3 – Managing Data for Other Modes - Option 4 - Bus Operations Room - Option 5 - Integration with TfW API Gateway Further details and specific requirements can be found in Volume 5 of this ITT. TfW will evaluate these priced options as described in Volume 7 of this ITT but may or may not purchase them at the time of Award of Contract. |
2 | Welsh Bus Display Board Content Management System (WBDCMS) The Welsh Bus Display Board Content Management System (WBDCMS) will simplify the operational management of displays by implementing a standard interface with all displays which are compliant with the Real Time Integration Group’s CMS to Display interface specification. An example of the benefits of this service will be giving local authorities the flexibility to procure the right display for the right location, confident that they will be able to issue public service messages across all the displays without having to procure and manage separate, proprietary content management systems from each display provider. Lot 2 Welsh Bus Display Board Content Management System - will provide a means to send public service messages, real time information and other content to new displays procured from the associated framework and to existing displays where they can be upgraded to interface with the CMS. This service will interface with the Welsh Bus Data Service and will negate the need for individual local authorities to procure separate real time information engines and content management systems for their localities. |
