In 2013, a new framework for the provision of urban bus and ferry services, known as the Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM) was introduced. At the time, PTOM was designed to contribute to the government’s goal for public transport, which was to grow patronage with less reliance on subsidy. It was developed with two overarching objectives: (1) to grow the commerciality of public transport services and create incentives for services to become fully commercial, and (2) to grow confidence that services are priced efficiently and there is access to public transport markets for competitors.
As part of normal government practice, the Ministry of Transport regularly reviews policy and legislative frameworks to ensure they have met the desired objectives and are still fit for purpose. As part of this, the Ministry is conducting a full review of PTOM. This review has two components: (1) an impact evaluation of PTOM, and (2) a review of the relevant policy and legislation. The Ministry is seeking to contract a supplier to conduct the evaluation component. This is an opportunity to contribute to improving New Zealand’s public transport system by improving our understanding of what impact PTOM has had on public transport across the country. The findings from this project will provide a robust evidence base for the Ministry’s future policy work.
The scope of the evaluation is yet to be finalised but will likely including assessing the impacts of:
- Regional public transport planning, including user needs
- Tendering and/or benchmarked negotiation of public transport contracts
- Management of PTOM contracts, including management of service performance
- Exemptions for commercial services
We are seeking suppliers who are able to demonstrate the following capabilities:
- Strong technical skills
- A good track record conducting similar evaluations
- Capacity to complete the work in the required timeframe (September 2019 to June 2020)
- Strong project management skills
- In-depth knowledge of the transport sector, and particularly the public transport sector (desirable but not essential)
At this stage we are seeking Registrations of Interest from suitably qualified suppliers, with a full RFP to be released in August 2019.
This tender has been completed.
