## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority is overseeing the procurement process for the "Travel Demand and Active Travel Framework," focusing on transport consultancy services based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The purchasing method employed is an open procedure, with the framework designed to support various local authorities and organisations across the UK. The process is at the award stage, having reached completion as of 20 April 2021. Key contracts under this framework include a £3,000,000 award for Evidence Based Travel Demand Management and others for Behaviour Change, Cycle Training, Cycling Events, and Supply Chain for Pedal Cycles, bringing a total estimated spend of £10,500,000 over four years.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in transport consultancy, behavioural change projects, cycle training, and event services.
