Summary of the contracting process

The Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is seeking to appoint a consultant or academic partner for the "South Essex Active Travel Research Support" project. This procurement falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with a total project value of £24,999. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage and ends on 5th January 2018, with the contract period set to commence on 15th January 2018 and conclude on 13th April 2018. The project's focus is on addressing active travel behaviours in the East of England.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms and academic institutions specialising in research management, behavioural insights, and active travel interventions. As the project involves training and capacity-building elements, businesses that are registered as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete. The contracted party will gain valuable experience and insights, potentially leading to further collaborations in related areas of public service and community engagement.
