    Brief

    The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) seeks a specialist consultancy to conduct an independent, evidence-based assessment of local bus demand trends and patronage drivers. This study will provide a comprehensive understanding of factors influencing bus ridership, identify barriers and opportunities for growth, and deliver actionable recommendations to support financial planning and strategic decision-making. The findings will inform policy and operational strategies ahead of the planned transition to bus franchising in 2027. Suppliers should have expertise in transportation demand analysis, survey design and delivery, data analytics, and public transport stakeholder engagement.
