Webinar programme support

Background: With the introduction of the Rail Reform Bill into Parliament and the likely creation of a new Passenger Watchdog, it is an important time for the rail industry and wider public transport sectors to look forward and consider how these reforms can best benefit the travelling public. Transport Focus is proposing to run 2 webinars in the first half of 2026 that will explore key ideas and challenge stakeholders to deliver reform that is truly customer centric. We are seeking support to develop these webinars' programmes (speakers, key themes) and deliver short supporting documents on their outcomes and recommendations. The subject of the webinars will be broadly 'creating a customer centric railway' and 'what does good integrated local transport look like' (note these are working titles and subject to change). Specification/ deliverables • The provider will work with Transport Focus to design the programme, developing overall concepts, themes and learning objectives for each webinar, aligned with Transport Focus priorities and audience needs. • The provider will support development of presentation materials, with guidance on key messages and clarity. • The provider will likely speak at the event and support Transport Focus in identifying and briefing other speakers. • The provider will draft a short 'think piece' item for publication afterwards, summarising the key themes from each webinar. Webinar objectives • Stimulate thought provoking conversations on significant topics affecting transport users now and in the future. • Influence policymakers, operators and other stakeholders by highlighting evidence and ideas that can shape forthcoming policy and operational decisions. • Introduce new concepts, models and frameworks that help stakeholders re-imagine how rail and wider transport could be improved for the benefit of users. • Build the profile of Transport Focus as a thought leader. Out of scope • The webinars will be hosted and publicised by Transport Focus.

Specialist Legal Support for ECW Pre-Transfer Planning

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW) is a company limited by guarantee wholly owned by the three unitary authorities in Cheshire and Warrington. It was formerly the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) for the area and brought across its staff, funding role and assets when it transferred to LA ownership in 2024. Cheshire and Warrington is part of the Government's devolution priority programme and will be creating a Combined Authority for the sub-region in Spring 2026. The Combined Authority will take on responsibility for the strategic economic development of Cheshire and Warrington, a role formerly undertaken by the LEP and, more recently, ECW. With the establishment of a new Combined Authority (CA), it is anticipated that some or all functions currently delivered by ECW and CWTB may transfer either to one or more of the sub-region's local authorities, to the CA or to another body. No final decisions have yet been made, and the scope, scale, and nature of any transfer remain under active consideration. The company is seeking to appoint a provider of specialist legal advice to help with those discussions, supporting pre-transfer planning and due diligence on the potential transfer of some or all of ECW's functions, assets, and responsibilities. This support will be commissioned through a retainer and call-off contract. The appointed provider must be able to advise across a broad spectrum of organisational, corporate, public law, employment, and commercial matters, and respond quickly as the transfer landscape becomes clearer.
