  4. DRAFT Vision • Cornwall’s Integrated Transport Unit (ITU) will be a one stop shop for passenger transport.  It will bring together transport services delivered by a range of providers across Cornwall for travel by taxi, minibus or service bus. Through working with the public sector, private sector and third sector, the ITU will provide the most efficient transport services possible for the community of Cornwall ensuring as much of the budgets as possible are expended on front line services, not on administration.  The ITU will be the single point of contact for customers and staff of Cornwall Council and patients and staff of Royal Cornwall Hospital for the provision of passenger transport services and general travel advice.

  5. What will this mean? • Easier interface for customers • Easier system for staff requesting transport • More joint working between Cornwall Council and health partners • Improved contracts management with providers • Savings from better use of existing vehicle miles travelled • Better information on all trips made, to • Understand what we commission • Improve routes • Offer better service to customers

  6. When and what? • The review is already underway but at an early stage. • We are starting to meet those involved requesting transport, providing transport and processing invoices • By May 2013 we will be able to review all the processes and recommend improvements • By October 2013 we will have staff working together in one unit, the ITU, starting to look for more ways to improve the service • We have started to review procurement options • Common base specification for services • Seek expressions of interest – April 2013 • Tender to award – October/November 2013 • Improved system to offer customer range of travel options

  7. Other areas • Making better use of Council and RCHT owned vehicles • Integration with more health stakeholders • Book transport on intranet (staff) or internet (customers) • Transport of ‘stuff’, rather than people • ……..
