The long-term aspiration is to retain the Platform beyond this period and therefore, it is expected that the successful Supplier agrees to a transition from a Community (fully managed by the successful Supplier) towards a self-service Community managed by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM, part of the WMCA) where the supplier will expect, as a minimum, just fixed / licence costs for the Platform use, to be payable annually. In order to access the documents and submit a bid please do so through BravoSolution, the WMCA's e-tendering portal ([wmca.bravosolution.co.uk](https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk)). The tender reference is itt\_779 and if you are not already registered on BravoSolution it is free and usually only takes a few minutes to do so.
