## Summary

The National Highways has awarded a contract for the provision of services to supply supplementary guidance for active travel in non-urban environments and assist in developing active travel routes. The title of the tender is "T0567 TATE3013 Rural Design Guidance", falling under the industry category of Development consultancy services. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1st May 2024, with a contract period starting on 17th May 2024, and ending on 31st March 2025.

This tender can create opportunities for businesses specialising in development consultancy services, particularly those experienced in providing guidance for active travel in rural areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for this opportunity. Businesses interested in developing active travel routes between rural communities and larger urban areas, in addition to covering walking and cycling aspects, would be well-suited to compete in this contracting process.

## Notice

In response to feedback from a number of local highway authorities (LHAs) Active Travel England (ATE) is looking to set up a contract for the provision of services to provide supplementary guidance to Local Transport Note 1/20. The purpose of the new guidance will be to take into account a number of factors that influence the propensity for active travel in non-urban environments and supports the development of active travel routes between rural communities and linking satellite settlements to larger urban areas. In addition, the new guidance will need to cover walking and wheeling as well as cycling. Rural diagrams, and some photos will also be required. The final document may be published as a Local Transport Note (LTN) which are held in high regard by highway authorities in providing good practice guidance which highway authorities can use to create standards appropriate for their local needs. Further discussions will take place with the Department for Transport as to whether there may be a case for the guidance to be issued as an LTN or as an ATE document.
