Summary of the contracting process

Gosport Borough Council commissioned Gosport Go, a comprehensive active-travel support service for Gosport. The service is designed to increase opportunities to walk and cycle, encourage lasting changes in travel behaviour through tailored community engagement and practical support, and increase the number of residents choosing active-travel modes. It addresses both universal and targeted needs, with the wider purpose of helping reduce health inequalities and establish walking and cycling as sustainable choices for more residents. This is a public service contract in the services category, including travel-related services. Delivery is centred on Gosport, for the benefit of its communities, and the council is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold procedure. One lot was completed and awarded to Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. The award is active and the contract was signed on 25 May 2026. Its initial period runs from 25 May 2026 to 24 May 2027, with an optional 12-month extension allowing the arrangement to continue until 24 May 2028. The contract value is £36,045 excluding VAT and £43,254 including VAT. Gosport Borough Council is the buyer and Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the process used for this below-threshold requirement; the published information does not set out separate award criteria.

This procurement demonstrates demand for a focused active-travel programme combining community engagement, practical support and behaviour change. Competitors seeking similar work with Gosport Borough Council would need to show credible capability in encouraging walking and cycling, designing activity for both broad and targeted audiences, and working directly with communities to address barriers to participation. Experience of delivering public-facing travel or mobility services would be relevant, particularly where services must support health and sustainability objectives rather than simply provide infrastructure. The selected supplier is a large voluntary, community and social enterprise, indicating that the council can value substantial delivery capacity alongside a clear social-purpose approach. Strong local engagement and the ability to measure changes in travel behaviour would support a credible future response.
