Bus Reform Technology Partner

In order to deliver Bus Reform, WYCA needs to undertake a variety of technology changes across many business areas to enable the transition from the current enhanced partnership into the proposed franchising scheme. These changes, collectively form several complex technology projects which carry many risks. Unless managed correctly, these have the potential to threaten overall Bus Reform delivery within the required timescales. The Combined Authority has mobilised a dedicated transition team to oversee and manage the transition from the current deregulated environment to the franchised network. The core team supports the delivery of identified work, which is spread across five different workstreams. These workstreams draw on resource from across the organisation in various capacities to manage and control the delivery of work. The five workstreams are: • Assets • Data • Network Planning and Management • Customer • Contracting This contract will form part of the Data Workstream. Further information on the governance, structure and project management delivery method of the Bus Franchising Programme can be found in Appendix 1A - Bus Reform Technology Partner - Additional Information, Appendix 1B - WYCA Team Structures and Appendix 1C - Risk Management Strategy. The Combined Authority employs a Digital & Technology Service (DTS) of around 40 staff who oversee the full range of software, hardware, support and change management responsibilities. The preference is to use DTS to resource the Bus Reform technology programme where possible, but to mitigate the risks of an absence of skills, knowledge or capacity, a Bus Reform Technology Partner (BRTP) should be appointed and be in contract from early 2025. DTS works closely with several internal service areas, these include the Research & Intelligence function which provides expertise in the management and exploitation of data and a dedicated information and a Bus Reform Programme team.

DfE Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy – Regional Supplier Contract for Northern Ireland

The UK Government has committed GBP5bn to enable hard-to-reach communities to access gigabit-capable broadband. This is being spent through a package of coordinated and mutually supportive interventions, collectively known as Project Gigabit. Project Gigabit, is a UK Government intervention to provide a subsidy to support the deployment of a gigabit speed broadband network to cover premises across Northern Ireland that would otherwise not be provided with access to gigabit broadband speeds, as these premises do not present a commercially viable investment for a private sector operator. Project Gigabit is a strategically important initiative for Northern Ireland’s society (people and businesses), is a key enabler for delivering the DfE Minister’s Economic Vision, and will help to maintain Northern Ireland’s connectivity and infrastructure at a level that is competitive with Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland and is attractive to inward investment. As part of this DfE, along with Building Digital UK (BDUK), is developing a procurement approach to incentivise the telecoms market to invest in delivering gigabit capable wholesale infrastructure in areas not considered to be commercially viable for new infrastructure. This procurement approach will be a successor to the much-needed Superfast broadband programme and DfE’s broadband intervention, Project Stratum. The overarching aim of Project Gigabit is, simply stated, to provide universal, or near universal, gigabit-capable broadband coverage in Northern Ireland by increasing provision in areas which are currently poorly served and not capable of attracting wholly commercial investment. The project aim can be categorised into three key objectives: • Address market failure, whilst maintaining and promoting competition within the market. It is currently not commercially viable for telecoms service providers to extend gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure to many of the presently unserved premises in Northern Ireland. • Maximise gigabit-capable broadband coverage in a way that is balanced and supportive of rural areas and communities. • Choose procurement and delivery options which seek to maximise value for money (in terms of a balance of quality of technology/products, coverage, timescale and cost to Government), mitigate risk, incentivise performance and meet affordability criteria for Government and for end users.
