Decision

To authorise the procurement of a new Demand
Responsive Transport (DRT) service, encompassing the appointment of
a bus operator and the implementation of supporting back-office
systems.

Reasons for the decision

Procuring a Demand Responsive Transport (DRT)
service in North Lincolnshire is essential for ensuring
accessibility and mobility for all residents, supporting community
wellbeing, promoting environmental sustainability, stimulating
economic growth, enhancing road safety, and building public trust.
This investment prepares the region for future transportation needs
and demonstrates the authority's commitment to providing essential
services.

Alternative options considered

To leave the current contract to expire. This
would leave North Lincolnshire without a DRT service.
