PQ0510 - Further Support for Accessible Tourism - Birmingham City Council would like to support the continued development of accessibility within Birmingham's visitor economy. To deliver this there is a requirement for an accessible tourism specialist with extensive experience of working with different types of visitor economy businesses. Birmingham's Visitor Destination Plan identified that there is a real opportunity for the city's visitor economy to improve accessibility, provide an inclusive welcome and tap into a new and potentially loyal customer base. The Support for Accessible Tourism workstream seeks to improve understanding, practises and customer service amongst businesses to ensure that customers with accessibility needs are welcomed and valued, whether they are residents, tourists or parents who require changing facilities. The Council developed an online 'Accessible Tourism Hub' featuring training webinars, information guides and toolkits to support visitor economy businesses in becoming more accessible. Launched in March 2023, the hub was welcomed by the sector but uptake has been slow with employers facing competing pressures such as the cost of living crisis, rising energy costs and an unstable labour market. The project will also work with accessibility champions to create short-form social media videos aimed at the traditionally time-poor hospitality sector by demonstrating how small changes can make a significant difference to customers with access requirements. A product audit found that the websites of around 90% of Birmingham's restaurants and cafes had no information at all on accessibility, and some of those that did only addressed wheelchair users, ignoring the 80% of disabled people with hidden impairments. The contract will be for the period commencing May 2024 and concluding on 31st January 2025. The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.

Multi Modal Product Trial - The objective of the Multi-Modal Product Trial is to introduce smart ticketing nationally across the country to ensure that consumers can make contactless payments on public transport. The benefit of this scheme is to allow passengers to automatically obtain the best fare across multiple modes of transport, irrespective of who the vehicle they were using was run by. There are clear benefits of this scheme, and it will also help to create new revenue for train companies and support future business cases. Multimodal products rely on the availability, quality, and comprehensiveness of the information and functionality offered to passengers. The multimodal fare product primarily impacts availability, price, and flexibility when passengers choose which transport mode to use for their journey. The objective of the multi-modal product research as part of this study is to- 1. Transform travel and support smart integrated ticketing and payment services. 2. Modernise and enable convenience for passengers accessing public transport. 3. Allowing journeys across multiple modes of transport and multiple transport operators. 4. To be attractive and widely accessible. 5. Enable a passenger to plan and book a trip using different transport modes as easily and as cost effectively as making a journey using only one transport mode. The goal is to enable 'one-click' search, 'one-click' booking, and 'one-click' payment and ticketing. 6.MC would now like to refresh the 2019 work and conduct research into specific travel corridors where multi-modal product trial is more likely have the greatest effect as per the objectives identified as part of this study. This work is expected to be delivered across four tasks:  Task 1: Review of rail demand patterns in MC area and longlisting  Task 2: Customer, Fares and identifying a trial corridor  Task 3: Stakeholders engagement for the trial corridor  Task 4: Technology options and implementation plan for the trial corridor The final deliverable will be the production of a report as "Multi-modal fare product trial", which includes an executive summary, key findings of all tasks, recommendations, and next steps.

Quality Express Bus Viability Study - This commission is for the continuation of a Quality Express Bus Corridor Identification study, which was completed in 2023 by Mott MacDonald. This study initiated the exploration of what a QEB service should look like by looking at best practice in the UK and elsewhere and identified eighteen potential corridors (or routes) that linked hubs with poor or no rail services and basic demand flows between them. The purpose of this commission therefore is to continue to explore whether QEBs are a viable concept by building on the initial findings of the 2023 study and addressing the following fundamental aims:  Identify what makes a QEB route viable, in general, by building on the findings of the 2023 study.  Explore whether any of the corridors identified in the 2023 study are viable and what makes it/them viable.  Create a tool for consistent and clear basic appraisal of QEB routes that will remain valid in the future. It may be the case that this study identifies that QEBs are not a viable concept or that the concept is viable, but the corridors identified are not. This is an acceptable outcome from this study.

Organisation Effectiveness Review - The Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) is a UK statutory body that was established by the Betting Levy Act 1961. It operates in accordance with the provisions of the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 (as amended). It is a non-departmental public body (NDPB), and its sponsoring Government department is the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The organisation has a team of 15-20 staff and is responsible for the collection and application of a levy near £100m in support of its statutory objectives. More information can be found on HBLB's website (www.hblb.org.uk). HBLB last reviewed its organisational design in 2019 and subsequent to its most recent Board Effectiveness review its Board has agreed that it is now timely for the organisation's structure and resourcing to be assessed to ensure that HBLB is properly set up for its current activities and to meet future demand. To this end HBLB wishes to commission an organisation effectiveness review. The review should consider, and make key recommendations regarding, the organisation's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the context of: • Internal Governance (executive and below) • Resource Needs (now and in the future) • Management Effectiveness • Organisation Structure • Team Culture • Organisation Efficiency (compared to other similar bodies) The review will involve individual meetings with all members of the team including the Chief Executive and the Chief Finance Officer and consideration of relevant documentation including HBLB's Business Plan, Business Plan Updates, Annual Reports and Accounts and relevant internal documents. Parties tendering for this work must be able to demonstrate appropriate knowledge and expertise, must understand the requirements of public sector operation, and must show appropriate sensitivity to the conduct and confidentiality of this piece of work. The Executive would also find it beneficial to have external and appropriate salary benchmarking for the size and shape of organisations which carry out similar roles and functions.
