## Summary

The Herefordshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Invitation to Tender for the provision of Hereford City Schools Active Travel Programme," aimed at promoting active travel strategies among school pupils in the West Midlands, particularly those from socially deprived areas. The tender was published on 24 April 2017, and the tender period concluded on 12 May 2017. The winning bid, amounting to £155,000, was awarded to Sustrans on 21 July 2017, with the contract's start date set for 1 September 2017 and scheduled to run until 31 July 2020. This was an open procedure procurement method focused within the services category, specifically relating to transport and education and training services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in education, travel services, and community engagement initiatives, especially those targeting active lifestyle programmes for young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Companies with experience in delivering interactive educational programmes directed at primary and secondary students, alongside expertise in transport services promoting walking, cycling, and other forms of active commuting, can leverage this opportunity for business growth.

## Notice

Herefordshire Council is looking for an organisation to deliver an intensive programme of active travel activities aimed at primary and secondary school pupils, students, siblings and parents to prepare students in Hereford City for active mode e.g. walking, cycling, scooting, access to work and college, particularly those in social deprived areas e.g. South Wye. The aim of this activity is to increase the proportion of pupils and students regularly walking, cycling and scooting to school. This contributes towards Herefordshire Council's targets to reduce congestion and increase active travel to and from school and meet targets aimed at long-term behavioural change set out in the Local Transport Plan
