This document provides guidance to help Local Transport Authorities and bus operators to work collaboratively and at pace to deliver the ambitions set out in their Bus Service Improvement Plans – if they have chosen to use a a statutory Enhanced Partnership (EP) under the Transport Act 2000 – in order to qualify for future Government funding as set out in the National Bus Strategy and BSIP Guidance. We recognise that there may be other circumstances in which LTAs wish to create EPs. This guidance remains relevant as it sets out the general principles regarding the creation of an EP, although not all references to BSIPs will be relevant. The guidance has the following sections:

Section 1 Introduction
Section 2 Delivering the BSIP using an Enhanced Partnership
Section 3 The EP Plan and Scheme(s)
Section 4 Operator Objections
Section 5 Consultation Process
Section 6 Making a Plan and Scheme
Section 7 Postponing, Varying and Cancelling an Enhanced Partnership
Section 8 Competition Issues
