Skyss is a part of Hordaland county that was established in November 2007. Skyss organises nearly all the public transport in the county, in accordance with the budget decided by the politicians. Skyss awards contracts for driving buses, light rail, fast boats and ferries in Hordaland to traffic companies after competitions. Skyss plans the routes, measures the quality in the tender and follows up the traffic companies. Information on and marketing of the buses, light rail and some boat route is Skyss' responsibility. For the ferry contracts and some of the fast boat routes, it is the operator's responsibility.
The customer centre and route telephone 177 receive and follow up their customers' enquiries on buses, light rail, fast boats and ferries.
It is Skyss' responsibility to implement the approved strategies and measures in order to achieve the political targets for public transport in Hordaland. In the coming years a central task for Skyss will be to improve and further develop the public transport offer in the county.
The Technical Operations Unit is under the resource department in Skyss. The Technical Operations Unit is responsible for the daily technical operations of Skyss's equipment in and on vehicles, vessels, stops and terminals, and has the main responsibility to ensure that, amongst other things, the ticketing system and real time information is both operative and functioning properly.
The Technical Operations Unit mainly carries out its assignments itself, with its own employees. The aim of the procurement is to enter into a framework agreement in which Skyss can make call-offs when supplements are needed to the resources that the organisation has within service, maintenance and repairs, as well as the installation and disassembly of equipment, for example, in cases of temporary absence (sickness, holiday, leave etc.) and heavy work loads. The assignments require that the service technicians hired by Skyss are electricians. Skyss will itself provide vehicles, tools, materials, workshop space, changing rooms and workwear.
Assignments for Skyss require special training in Skyss' equipment, and Skyss cannot use persons without such training. A central aim of the procurement is to join up with a service provider who can provide two persons for training in Skyss' equipment and who will be available for assignments during the entire contract period.
