Summary of the contracting process

North York Moors National Park Authority commissioned active travel design services for Lady Edith’s Drive. The work covers design of the route, alongside stakeholder engagement and public consultation. The procurement classification also refers to cycle paths, footpaths and highways, but the stated requirement is for design work rather than construction. Delivery is in the North York Moors area of England. The Authority is the buyer. The project concerns walking, wheeling and cycling routes, with design activity intended to draw on Active Travel England’s guidance and assessment tools. This is a single, defined project rather than a general transport services requirement.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Walk Wheel Cycle Trust. The open competition was below the applicable threshold and attracted 13 bids. The award date was 21 September 2026; the contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a possible extension of one month, to 31 August 2027. The award is valued at £65,000 excluding VAT (£78,000 including VAT). There was one lot. Evaluation weighted demonstrated active-travel design evidence and project planning and delivery at 25% each; stakeholder engagement and price at 20% each; and sustainability at 10%. Sustainability assessment particularly considered travel to and from the site.

For comparable work with this buyer, a credible supplier would need evidence of designing rural walking, wheeling and cycling routes, including practical application of Active Travel England design guidance and assessment tools. The successful approach was assessed not only on design capability but also on a clear project schedule, delivery framework and detailed cost breakdown. Suppliers would also need to plan meaningful engagement with stakeholders and the public, and show how sustainability is built into the organisation and project, particularly travel to the site. The requirement suits small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist consultancies and organisations with relevant route-design experience can be well placed if they can demonstrate strong planning, consultation and sustainable delivery.
