• Development of the franchise proposal based on the recommendations of the rural franchising pilot, and assessment of that model against other options.
• Lead on the acquisition of appropriate data from operators, local authorities, partners and other sources to ensure the assessment, including the economic, commercial and financial case, is sufficiently robust.
• Lead the consultation on the franchise proposal, including managing responses, supporting in the management of stakeholders, supporting in external communications, producing a consultation report and using that work to inform the final recommendation/decision.
