Description

Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) is seeking market engagement with suppliers of public transport booking, ticketing and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions. The engagement has two objectives: 1. To assess market interest in providing a booking application for MK Tech Week 2026, supporting the pilot operation of Ohmio autonomous shuttles within Central Milton Keynes. The pilot will provide an opportunity to test integration between autonomous vehicle services and third-party booking platforms, explore passenger management for driverless services, and evaluate the commercial viability of a future flexible transport service. 2. To understand the capabilities of MaaS and integrated ticketing platforms that could support MKCC's longer-term transport ambitions, including franchising opportunities, multimodal ticketing, demand responsive transport, integrated journey planning, data-driven network design, and seamless interchange across transport modes. MKCC invites organisations to share information on their products, integration capabilities, booking and payment functionality, data and analytics services, ticketing solutions, and experience supporting autonomous, flexible, or multimodal transport services. Feedback will help inform the Council's future approach to public transport innovation, integrated mobility services, and network development across Milton Keynes. Any questions relating to this market engagement should be made via correspondence on the InTend website.
