UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner is offering grants for projects that reduce harm from road traffic collisions. The focus is on education and training, including innovative projects and community-led activity aligned with the Safer Communities Plan and the 2026 Road Safety Needs Assessment. The work may include road-safety education, community action, guidance or related support. Projects must be delivered in the West Mercia area. This is a services opportunity rather than a contract to supply goods or carry out construction; funding is intended to support initiatives with a practical road-safety impact.

The buyer invited applications through an open competition for a single grant round. The total funding available is up to £300,000, with applications limited to between £5,000 and £50,000 each. Applicants could submit questions until 2 November 2026 at 5pm. Applications were due by 9 November 2026 at noon and had to be submitted electronically through the In-Tend portal. The funded project period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2028. Delivery must be within the West Mercia geographical region. Applications are assessed using the evaluation methodology in Section 9 of the invitation to quote.

This opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in the West Midlands. It will particularly suit organisations able to design and deliver road-safety education or training, or community-led initiatives addressing collision-related harm. Applicants need to show that their proposed work can be delivered in West Mercia and aligns with the stated community-safety priorities and road-safety needs assessment. The grant structure supports projects at different scales, from smaller local initiatives to more substantial programmes, within the stated application limits. Organisations with relevant experience engaging communities or providing guidance and support may also be well placed to develop impactful proposals.
