Merseytravel welcomes this important opportunity to submit evidence to the National Assembly for Wales’s Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee’s Inquiry into the Rail Franchise and South Wales Metro. 2. It is noted that the Committee’s inquiry is focused on the following issues: The effectiveness of the Welsh Government’s approach to the development, procurement and delivery of the rail franchise and South Wales Metro, including key risks and how they can be mitigated; and Priorities for the franchise specification and Metro delivery to ensure rail services meet the needs of current and future passengers throughout the franchise area, and deliver value for money for both passengers and the taxpayer 3. Merseytravel’s evidence will focus upon the latter point, namely priorities in respect of the rail franchise, rather than on the effectiveness of the Welsh Government’s procurement processes. Neither does this submission comment upon the delivery of the South Wales Metro, as Merseytravel would not wish to comment on devolved issue, and one with no direct bearing on the LCR. 4. Merseytravel is the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s (LCRCA’s) lead advisory body and executive body on transport issues. It also advises the LCR’s Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) on transport matters. The LCRCA is a statutory body covering the local authority districts of Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral with a collective population of 1.5 million.

This response was considered and endorsed by the Merseytravel Committee on 7 January 2016. Merseytravel is the Combined Authority’s lead advisory body and executive body on transport issues across the Liverpool City Region (LCR).

The Liverpool City Region is pleased to engage with the National Assembly for Wales on this important inquiry. The city region has a long history of working jointly with Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities on issues of cross boundary transport importance, recognising that transport networks rarely recognise administrative boundaries.

The procurement process that is being undertaken differs greatly from other rail franchises recently awarded or in the process of being awarded i.e. The Northern franchise Greater Anglia What evidence is there available that the process adopted for the Wales & Borders franchise will deliver a sound and robust rail franchise contract vs. the model adopted by the Department for Transport? 2. The implementation of this franchise process and the engagement with stakeholders is confusing. Workshop invitations appear to be random with many relying on word of mouth to seek an invitation. 3. The ‘rules of engagement’ with bidders apparently being con-strained to meeting with elected members with a transport port-folio or ‘of influence’ again has been restrictive. 4. The scope of the stakeholder list is also unclear. This is a Wales & Borders Franchise and this rail franchise will be vitally important for the development of those English Regions. 5. We are advised of a ‘data room’. Are we content that the data provided within is robust and accurate and covers the entire Wales & Borders franchise area including the English regions? 6.
