The following sections set out in greater detail the services and outcomes that the Department wishes to procure for passengers, and outline some of the important franchise aspirations. They set out:
the fundamental importance to all bidders of putting the passenger first and some of the key passenger improvements that we expect
the Departments objectives for the franchise and the delivery of the franchise describing some of the key qualities we will look for in our new private sector partner
a commercial proposition that aspires to deliver Government policy and desired outcomes from the rail network, and represents value for money to the fare-paying passenger and the taxpayer
