This initiative aims to develop a 1-mile 'School Street' scheme to enhance safe active travel for approximately 1,500 pupils across four schools. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, and interested parties must submit their bids by 21 June 2021. The execution of the contract is expected to commence on 5 July 2021 and will extend until 31 March 2022. The total value of the project is set at £20,000, with a requirement for demonstrable experience in similar schemes to ensure compliance with national and local design standards. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those experienced in urban design and community engagement. Companies involved in concept and technical design, especially those with capabilities in sustainable transport solutions or e-cycling infrastructure, would be well-placed to compete for this contract. Firms that can demonstrate a strong understanding of local public realm design and safety standards, while collaborating effectively with community stakeholders, will have a competitive advantage in securing this project. ## Notice Concept and technical design work leading to the installation of a 'School Street' scheme in Frome, Somerset. This scheme proposes a 1-mile 24/7 school street/corridor along Oakfield Road and Somerset Road (from Broadway to B3090 the Butts) to increase safe active travel to four schools which are clustered in proximity to a park - affecting 1500 pupils. Tenders are invited for each of the following elements of work: Task 1 - Concept Design - co-design with the community (RIBA Stage 2) Task 2 - Technical Design (RIBA Stages 3 & 4) Task 3 - Complete all required approvals and audits prior to commencement Task 3 - Support with procurement of installation Task 4 - Supervision of installation Task 5 - Support with maintenance, monitoring & evaluation Demonstrable UK and/or European experience in planning and delivering similar schemes is essential. The scheme will comply with current national and county highways authority engineering, safety and highways design standards and local public realm design standards and will be designed in accordance with the DMRB and other nationally and locally recognised design standards. Where necessary, scheme designs will take account of the newly released LTN1/20 and design principles as stated in "Gear Change: A bold vision for cycling and walking Appendix A: Summary principles for cycle infrastructure design" as far as reasonably practicable but will, nevertheless, be governed by site and safety constraints. Other design standards are being informed by London Streets toolkit and best practice from Bath, Bristol and York. The Dutch Cycling Traffic Handbook (CROW, 2016) and the Danish Road Design Standards provide additional insights relevant to capacity design and dimensioning of junctions. Particular attention will be given to design standards for e-cycling and adapted cycles to ensure future opportunities can be embraced. All necessary approvals for design, road safety and engineering standards will need to be obtained from the county highway authority. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/234119f1-d6a1-4503-805f-c5e5f78fa5eb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jun 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jul 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FROME TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | FROME | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA11 1EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK62 Somerset | | Local authority | Somerset | | Electoral ward | Frome West | | Westminster constituency | Frome and East Somerset | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
