## Description
This contract forms part of a strategy to improve the availability of
passenger information and enhance passenger experience on the public transportation network.
The successful contractor will therefore be required to supply and install a plate with a unique QR
code at each individual marked bus stop within Kent. These codes will link to a unique page on the
interactive map providing relevant bus stop information. This is a new activity for the authority, but
strongly links to the existing Bus Stop Information & Infrastructure Management Contract (BSIIM)
and ongoing maintenance of the plates is accounted for in the contract itself.
