What is being bought

Published requirement description

This contract forms part of a strategy to improve the availability of

passenger information and enhance passenger experience on the public transportation network.

The successful contractor will therefore be required to supply and install a plate with a unique QR

code at each individual marked bus stop within Kent. These codes will link to a unique page on the

interactive map providing relevant bus stop information. This is a new activity for the authority, but

strongly links to the existing Bus Stop Information & Infrastructure Management Contract (BSIIM)

and ongoing maintenance of the plates is accounted for in the contract itself.
