Workshop report – Beyond competitive tendering
Based on positive experiences in Great Britain and Scandinavian countries, introducing competitive tendering of exclusive contracts was discussed as the preferred way to organise local public transport markets.
Yet deregulation in various guises may well play a growing role in local and regional transport. This is already visible in long-distance coach transport and in (international) European railway markets as from 2010. The workshop paper discusses whether such competition-based institutional alternatives to competitive tendering can provide efficiency and service improvements, how such competition-based alternatives should be ‘regulated’ and, alternatively, how a non-competitive direct award could perhaps still guarantee good performance.
