Total Mobility and wider PT Assurance

Canterbury Regional Council is seeking market feedback regarding the establishment of a comprehensive contract assurance and auditing function for the Total Mobility Scheme and potentially other public transport (PT) contracts. Canterbury Regional Council is particularly interested in understanding market capability, methodologies, resource models, indicative costs, and lessons learned from comparable engagements. A key objective of this work is to strengthen auditing, assurance, and quality control processes within the Total Mobility Scheme. We are looking to develop procedures that are right sized to the scale and riskiness of the contracts in question, and the likely capacity within Canterbury Regional Council. There is an increasing focus on the affordability of the TM scheme by central government. Auditing and quality control of the scheme has historically been underdeveloped nationally, and this is an opportunity for a supplier to position themselves as an expert in the field.
