The Department has progressed two bids to Phase 2 of the All-Electric Bus Town competition: Coventry, submitted by Transport for West Midlands; and Oxford, submitted by Oxfordshire County Council. During Phase 2, bidders are required to develop a business case for their scheme that demonstrates appropriate value for money before any funding is awarded. Further details will be available in due course.
