Improvements have been made to service design functionality, e.g. updated the interface for updating NaPTAN stops, introduced a process for the bulk deletion of NaPTAN stops and made historical NaPTAN data publicly available. The next phase of work will focus on improving the data quality and use of NaPATAN as well as maintaining the functionality and security of the system. Moreover, we embrace new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), which has revolutionised the speed, efficiency, and extent that we can transform government digital services. The recently published Transport AI Action Plan sets out a clear vision: “responsible AI embedded in a resilient transport system delivering cheaper, cleaner, and safer journeys for all”. In the case of NaPTAN, we are piloting the use of AI agents to introduce data on accessibility features at public transport stops. This project is in the initial stages, and we will look to build and expand on the findings of this work. More information can be found below. Accessibility project We are now enhancing NaPTAN by building new accessibility features into our service. This will meet user needs and the strategic aims of the department to make public transport journeys easier and safer for people with accessibility requirements and break down barriers to opportunity. We recognise the role of accurate and up-to-date information in making this possible. A recent Transport Select Committee report found that there “…is still a very substantial gap between the rights and obligations that exist in theory, and the daily experience of people who rely on pavements, buses, taxis, trains and planes to get to work, to access services or for leisure.” The National Travel Survey provides data on travel patterns of disabled adults, showed that they make fewer trips and travel fewer miles on average compared to non-disabled adults and were less likely to be satisfied with the availability of information to help them plan journeys. To help solve some of these societal challenges and improve accessibility across the public transport network, we are developing the following datasets to complement the core NaPTAN dataset: Accessibility data There is a lack of comprehensive, centralised, and reliable information about the accessibility of public transport stops in Great Britain. This creates challenges for individuals with diverse access needs when planning journeys using public transport. Existing information is often unavailable, inaccurate, fragmented, or insufficient in addressing various accessibility requirements. The intention is to improve the availability and quality of accessibility information by incorporating this data into NaPTAN. Organisations providing journey planning applications (data consumers) will be able to use this data to enrich their digital products to suppo... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/national-public-transport-access-nodes-naptan-development-and-support-ocds-h6vhtk-055b21) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 72222300 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 28/11/2025 to 27/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F038238-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-07-08T12:41:20.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-29T17:52:53.355Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-055b21
