Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council, acting for itself and Leicester City Council, procured a sustainable and active travel behaviour-change app with associated support services. The requirement covers software and information systems, together with IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The app is intended to support changes in how people travel, with delivery across the Leicestershire and Leicester area. This is a public-sector digital service opportunity for providers able to supply and support an app-based travel behaviour-change solution, rather than a construction, transport infrastructure or vehicle supply contract. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, a sub-central public authority, and the service is classified as a professional and technical service procurement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Betterpoints Limited was selected through a below-threshold open competition. Evaluation used the Most Advantageous Tender approach, with price weighted at 40% and quality at 60%. The tender deadline was 24 February 2026 at noon, following an amendment extending the original deadline; enquiries closed on 9 February 2026 at noon. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and has a value of £147,200 excluding VAT, or £176,640 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with three available extensions of 36 months, allowing a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. The procurement comprised one lot.

This award indicates demand from Leicestershire County Council and Leicester City Council for a managed digital product that can influence sustainable and active travel choices. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to combine a functioning behaviour-change app with dependable technical support, software maintenance, internet-based service delivery and the ability to develop or configure the platform for public-sector use. The evaluation weighting shows that service quality matters more than price, so evidence of user engagement, reliable operation, effective support and measurable behaviour-change delivery would be commercially important. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist digital providers, mobility-tech firms and mission-led organisations with the necessary delivery capability.
