## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council commissioned active travel promotion in schools across the East of England. The service is intended to improve health and wellbeing by increasing physical activity and building confidence and skills in walking, wheeling and cycling. It will help schools and families identify and overcome barriers to active travel, develop sustainable travel habits from a young age, and improve awareness of air quality and climate change. The procurement covers youth education services, school services and training. Delivery will involve working with schools and families, combining education, training, engagement and practical support to encourage more active and sustainable journeys. The buying organisation is Cambridgeshire County Council, based in Cambridge, and the service is categorised as a public service requirement rather than goods or construction work.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Cambridgeshire County Council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Walk Wheel Cycle Trust on 1 September 2026 for £288,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process; the available procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring weightings. The contract covers services delivered across the East of England.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates established public-sector demand for school-based active travel education and behaviour-change services in Cambridgeshire. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to design and deliver programmes for schools and families, build confidence in walking, wheeling and cycling, and address practical barriers to participation. Relevant capability includes youth education, school engagement, training delivery and the ability to explain links between active travel, health, air quality, climate change and sustainable travel. Suppliers would also need sufficient operational capacity to coordinate delivery across schools and work effectively with families and public-sector stakeholders. The requirement is suitable for organisations with education, community engagement or training expertise, including SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
