Tender description

The purpose of this 'Advanced Urban Transit' market testing is to shape the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s thinking on the scope, scale and deliverability of the potential transit technologies available, at the early stages of development. The feedback received through this market testing will help the authority develop/design an ‘advanced Urban Transit system’ which integrates the public transport network together and allows us to remain at the forefront of technologies for many years to come. It will help to ensure design/development work is undertaken to create the most innovative system which meets our local priorities and is deliverable before 2033. The authority are seeking the views from all promoters, manufacturers, suppliers, constructors, engineers, system developers and operators of ‘Urban Transit’ systems from across the world.
