    Brief

    Nexus seeks a cloud-based software solution to replace manual spreadsheet processes for bus timetable creation and scheduling. The system must automate the production of bus timetables with mapping functionality, create optimized bus schedules (blocks) with efficient interworking across services, and generate performance reports measuring network efficiency by mileage and hours. The solution must integrate with existing business systems to support website content, journey planners, roadside publicity, and external requirements such as Bus Open Data and electronic registration. Key requirements include: cloud-hosted Software as a Service accessible via web browser; compliance with Nexus ICT standards; use of NAPTAN data for stop identification; support for TransXchange, shape files, and GTFS data imports; vehicle type identification with range and fuel type specifications (diesel or zero-emission buses); optimization of vehicle workings across services; and shared running time functionality across multiple services on the same routes or corridors. The system must accommodate approximately 200 current local bus service contracts, with potential expansion to 1,100 buses across multiple depots if regional bus franchising proceeds.
