Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has initiated a procurement process titled "Sustainable Transport Incentive Scheme" aimed at enhancing the city's transport services. This tender focuses on creating a sustainable transport network that promotes safer roads and encourages physical activity. It falls under the services category and is classified within the transport services sector, specifically excluding waste transport. The process follows an open procurement method and is below the threshold for competitive bids. Key dates to note include the enquiry period ending on 12th December 2025 and the submission deadline on 19th December 2025. Set to begin on 5th January 2026, the contract will run until 30th September 2026, with potential for renewal. It is situated in Sheffield, United Kingdom, and reflects sub-central government authority requirements under legal basis 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in road and public transport services. With a total contract value of £60,000 net, it prioritises quality (weighted at 60%) and competitive pricing (40%). As Sheffield seeks partners to build a more sustainable transport system, businesses with innovative solutions in transport services stand to gain a foothold in public sector collaborations and expand their reach in government contracting. This includes companies that focus on enhancing road safety, integrating physical activity into transport solutions, and developing environmentally sustainable practices that align with public policy goals. The open competition provides a level playing field for a diverse range of businesses to showcase their capabilities and contribute to the city's vision of sustainable urban living.
