This tender falls within the industry category of Research Consultancy Services (CPV 73210000) and Transport Systems Consultancy Services (CPV 71311200). The project location is London, United Kingdom. The procurement is in the Tender stage with the tender period ending on 11th February 2025. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 17th March 2025 and conclude on 1st September 2025. The contract value is set at £30,000, and the procurement method used is an open procedure (above threshold). This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy and transport systems consultancy services. Companies with expertise in active travel infrastructure, including those adept at conducting literature reviews, case studies, and infrastructure assessments, are well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, providing an inclusive opportunity for various business types to contribute to the improvement of cycling facilities in Southwark. ## Notice The Mayor's Transport Strategy states that 95% of journeys in central London (and 90% in inner London) must be made by walking, cycling or public transport by 2041. Achieving this goal will partially address the triple challenges of toxic air pollution, the climate emergency and traffic congestion. In Southwark, the Streets for People strategy necessitates the provision of adequate cycling facilities in all development to reduce the environmental impacts of motor vehicles and improve our public realm. Well-designed active travel infrastructure (including junction improvements, road closures, crossing points, segregated cycleways and repaving) must be funded by developers alongside the provision of cycle parking to meet the objectives of the Mayor's Transport Strategy and Streets for People. The brief sets out the main research questions and methods of the cycle parking study. The study will start with a brief literature review that analyses existing London-wide policies and presents short case studies for various types of development, including standard residential, student housing/co-living, and commercial. The three core sections of the study will focus specifically on cycling in the Southwark context. We will aim to understand attitudes towards cycling - especially any perceived or real barriers to cycling - as well as the quality of current provision at various residential developments and commercial destinations, including employment centres. The consultant will undertake a review of various cycle parking features, including stand types and access arrangements, to determine how space can be used efficiently to provide high-quality cycle parking that is accessible to all. The final section of the study will pull together the high-level points from the literature review as well as Southwark-specific data to provide recommendations for cycle parking. This can be used in negotiations with developers and can be fed into the Southwark Plan Early Review. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a10c4e09-5578-4e83-a95f-37400aeb77e7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | 11 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Mar 2025 - 1 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 2QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | London Bridge & West Bermondsey | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Jan 2025 at 14:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a10c4e09-5578-4e83-a95f-37400aeb77e7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a10c4e09-5578-4e83-a95f-37400aeb77e7 20th January 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.southwark.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
