Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England commissioned research consultancy services for a staff project on a systems approach to shared mobility, accessibility and proximity for cities. The work concerns how shared mobility systems can support accessible, close-to-services urban environments, with the requirement delivered in South West England. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. This is a services procurement, rather than a construction or goods supply opportunity. The subject is relevant to research consultancies, transport and mobility specialists, accessibility practitioners, urban policy advisers and organisations that assess how city systems affect access to everyday destinations and services.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The University of the West of England used an “Other - UWEcont” procedure, with the requirement valued at £23,700. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. CoMoUK Trust was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £23,700. The contract period ran from 30 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. The published procurement category was research consultancy services, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was active, with no separate lots or alternative award values recorded.

This award indicates demand from the University of the West of England for focused, short-duration research consultancy on shared mobility, accessibility and proximity in cities. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to combine transport or shared-mobility knowledge with research design, systems thinking and the ability to examine accessibility and urban proximity together. Useful evidence would include clear analysis of how mobility services interact with city infrastructure, population needs and access to destinations, supported by concise research outputs for university or public-sector stakeholders. The requirement is suitable for an SME-scale consultancy, particularly one able to provide specialist expertise without the overhead of a large delivery team and with experience translating complex urban systems into practical findings.
