About

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is seeking a supplier for a modern, cloud-based, fully auditable contract management and payment system to support the rollout of bus franchising, with the first franchised services due to start on 6 September 2026. The system must provide end-to-end management of franchise contracts and ensure accurate, repeatable calculation of operator payments while delivering consistent, high-quality data across all operators, routes and reporting periods. It must give LCRCA and franchise operators a shared live view of performance, contractual obligations, lost mileage, variations, KPI outcomes and payment adjustments, reduce manual intervention, increase operational efficiency and support a region-wide performance framework to improve service quality, reliability and customer experience.
