Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by National Highways Limited involves a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system for the 'SEDPS-NH-0037-A52 Nottingham Active Community Engagement' project. This contract, valued at £69,554, targets increased walking and cycling participation along a newly constructed shared use path on the A52 in Nottingham, part of a broader strategy to promote active travel and reduce car dependency. The procurement falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services and project management services. Awarded to The Sustainable Travel Collective, the contract will run from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027 in the East Midlands, UK. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the award publication date being 21 July 2026 and the contract start date set for late July 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the business and management consulting and project management sectors, particularly those skilled in community engagement and activation initiatives. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, given the focus on dynamic, community-driven programmes aimed at shifting travel behaviours towards more sustainable modes. Engaging in such projects can enhance business profiles, build expertise in sustainable development projects, and forge valuable connections with public organisations like National Highways Limited.
