UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured project support from an officer to engage schools and neighbourhoods. The requirement sits within transport and community engagement services, covering work associated with road transport and transport systems consultancy. Delivery is in Portsmouth, for the council’s local school and neighbourhood engagement activity. The service is relevant to organisations that can provide personnel to support engagement with schools, residents and local communities, particularly where that engagement relates to transport, walking, wheeling or cycling projects. The selected provider is Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise. The procurement therefore concerns practical officer support and stakeholder engagement rather than construction, vehicle supply or general administrative staffing.

The procurement has been completed and one supplier was selected for the single lot. Portsmouth City Council awarded the contract to Walk Wheel Cycle Trust on 7 August 2026. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 October 2028 and has a gross value of £92,900. It is an active contract under a below-threshold procurement. The tender was recorded as complete, and the award is active. The requirement was handled as a tender, with one lot covering the project support service. The published outcome identifies services classified under road transport services and transport systems consultancy services. The award information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or named quality and price criteria.

For a future requirement from Portsmouth City Council, credible suppliers would need to combine officer-level project support with effective engagement across schools and neighbourhoods. Relevant experience would include planning and delivering consultations, communicating with residents and education communities, gathering and responding to stakeholder views, and supporting transport-related projects. Capability in road transport or transport systems consultancy would strengthen a supplier’s position where engagement is linked to local movement, access or travel schemes. The incumbent demonstrates that the buyer has used a large voluntary, community and social enterprise for this type of service. Competitors should therefore be able to evidence community reach, reliable staff deployment, practical transport knowledge and the capacity to support a sustained council project.
