Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has recently completed a procurement process for the "Active Travel Initiatives" project, focusing on behaviour change initiatives and infrastructure support, particularly around School Streets schemes in areas like Peacehaven and Telscombe. This falls under the industry category of "Research and development services and related consultancy services" (CPV: 73000000). The procurement, conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, was awarded on 29th August 2025 to Sustrans (Trading) Limited. The contract period spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026, with the total contract value being £61,540 GBP. The primary location for this initiative is within the United Kingdom, specifically England.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in urban planning, community engagement, and environmental consultancy services. Companies with expertise in behaviour change methodologies or those working in sustainable transport solutions would find this project align closely with their skills. Although the contract was not specifically open to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger organisations with the necessary capacity could leverage this initiative to strengthen their portfolio in public sector engagements, particularly with councils focused on sustainable community development.
