Summary

Machine-generated summary

The transport Authority invites expressions of interest through a pre-qualification questionnaire for a service provider to deliver continuous Mystery Passenger Surveys across Ireland's public transport. The services cover buses, bus stations, light rail, rail services and stations, Dublin Bus head office, and static bus stops, including management, survey design, data collection, processing, analysis and quarterly performance reporting. Around 2,500 individual surveys are required each quarter, subject to rigorous quality control. Results are shared with the Authority and relevant operators for queries. The data supports operator performance management, target service levels and improved customer experience across transport contracts.

Description

The Authority intends to engage a service provider to deliver continuous Mystery Passenger Surveys across multiple modes of public transport. The Services shall include all, but are not limited to, the following survey types: • Bus Service Mystery Passenger Surveys; Bus Station Mystery Passenger Surveys; Light Rail Service Mystery Passenger Surveys; Rail Service Mystery Passenger Surveys; Rail Station Mystery Passenger Surveys; Dublin Bus Head Office Mystery Passenger Surveys; and Static Bus Stop Mystery Passenger Surveys. The Services shall include all necessary management and administration, survey design, data collection, data processing and analysis and reporting of performance data. At each stage it is paramount the research is carried out using a rigorous method of quality control. Surveys shall be conducted continuously and reported on a quarterly basis. Results of each survey should be available to the Authority and to the relevant Operator post quality checking from the team, to allow any queries on the data to be raised. Circa 2,500 individual Mystery Passenger Surveys are required to be completed each quarter. The central aim of the Services is to provide data that can be used to manage Operator performance and allow the Authority to assign target service levels which can then be used by contract managers and Operators to effectively monitor and improve customer experience. The survey results are subject to a high level of scrutiny and its methodology and quality is required to be robust. The mystery passenger survey is a critical piece of work for the Authority and various transport contracts that rely on its results.
