## Summary

The Dorset Council is seeking tenders for the project titled "Active Travel in Schools and New Schemes Support," aimed at promoting sustainable travel in schools within the region. This initiative falls under the education and training services category and encompasses locations throughout Dorset, including Weymouth, Dorchester, and surrounding towns. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract set to commence on 19th April 2021 and run until 9th August 2022, with potential extensions. The contract value is £390,000 and was awarded following an open procurement method, which concluded the tender period on 30th March 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, active travel promotion, and community engagement, particularly those that are small or voluntary community and social enterprises. Companies that have experience with similar projects or that can demonstrate innovative approaches to promoting sustainable transportation for school children would be well-suited to compete in this process. The ongoing emphasis on creating a culture of sustainable travel is likely to resonate with stakeholders, paving the way for businesses to contribute positively while fostering growth in this sector.

## Notice

The current project includes 2 FTE Officers and targets schools across Dorset including in Weymouth & Portland, Dorchester, Wimborne & Colehill, Blandford, Ferndown, Verwood and other market towns in Dorset as required by the client. The current contract expires on 18th April 2021. The intention is to award a new contract for continuation of the same or equivalent project.
