The tender period closes on 31 January 2018, and the contract will commence on 1 April 2018, lasting until 31 March 2020. Interested organisations are required to submit competitive quotations, as this is a limited procurement process under the competitive quotation method. This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on health and community services, particularly those specialising in active transport solutions, training, and engagement programmes.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to engage in this tender and contribute to the initiative's objectives. ## Notice The South Essex Active Travel programme is funded by the Department for Transport and will promote a step change in travel engagement to act as a catalyst for increasing active travel.

Focusing in the six Growth Areas the programme will be enhanced through an umbrella travel awareness campaign to increase active travel trips. The programme will specifically target and support jobseekers, young people, new employees, students, lower socio-economic communities and volunteers Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is inviting quotation proposals from suitably qualified and experienced organisations or consortia to deliver walking programmes across Southend, South East Essex and Thurrock.
