This service-oriented procurement falls under the category of services. The purpose is to engage a consultancy firm to gather robust monitoring data on walking, cycling, rail, and bus usage to track progress against ambitious local and regional transport targets. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a detailed project description available. The project's value is estimated at £700,000, and delivery will centre around the five district centres in West Yorkshire: Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, and Wakefield. A questionnaire related to the tender must be completed and returned by 3rd January 2025, with further notices to be issued on 3rd March 2025. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for consultancy businesses specializing in research and development services, particularly those with expertise in transport data collection and analysis. Firms with experience in market and economic research, social research, and customer survey services are well-suited to compete. The tender involves a methodical approach to data collection, ensuring consistency and addressing gaps in previous data collection efforts. Businesses participating will have the chance to contribute to the monitoring and evaluation of major transport programmes within the region. The alignment with ambitious local and regional targets offers companies the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise and potentially secure future contracts with WYCA. ## Notice West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) and partner districts have increasingly ambitious targets for walking and cycling, as well as rail and bus patronage. To track progress against these targets, the Combined Authority desires to engage the services of a competent Consultant (Consultancy firm) to provide robust monitoring data to understand the progress it is making. ### Lot Information Lot 1 In the face of the climate emergency, low physical activity rates, a congested highway network, and high rates of transport related social exclusion, West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) and partner districts have increasingly ambitious targets for walking and cycling, as well as rail and bus patronage. To track progress against these targets it is necessary to have robust monitoring data to understand the progress we are making. Other data sources, such as the National Travel Survey, have significant limitations at a local and regional level due to the small sample size. This means three years of data need to be aggregated to report at a West Yorkshire level, and it is not possible to report at a local authority level. Whilst travel into and out of district centres does not provide a full picture, district centre cordon counts are one of the more cost-effective ways to monitor modal share, particularly for travel to work trips. This will be used as a key metric for monitoring West Yorkshire's Local Transport Plan, as well as for monitoring and evaluating major transport programmes delivered by the Combined Authority. Local authority districts have been collecting 'cordon count' data around the five West Yorkshire district centres (Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, and Wakefield) for several years. However, following a review in 2024 WYCA and district partners agreed a consistent approach would be needed across the region using the same methodology. As far as possible, we will seek consistency with data collection in previous years, but where there are gaps in cordons, we will commission extra counts to make the cordons 'watertight'. Please, complete the attached questionnaire and return by 3rd January 2025 via YORTender. A draft Statement of Requirements is being uploaded with this PIN as well as the cordon count maps. Please Note the following: 1. This is an updated PIN following the prior exercise undertaken earlier this year. In response to local authority consultation and input since the first Statement of requirements was drafted, the following changes have been made: i. The classifications have expanded ii. There is a requirement to collect occupancy data for car/taxi and bus (only bus was previously specified) iii. There is a preference to use traffic enumerators instead of camera technology Combined with lesser tweaks, we felt these changes form a notable departure from our original ask and wanted to offer the opportunity to revise any comments on this basis. Any final specification may be further tweaked as we work through the PIN responses and further engagement with our local authority partners, but we expect any further changes to be relatively minor prior to going to market. 2. This PIN is for prior information only and is not a 'Call for Competition'. Whilst we encourage your participation in the pre-market survey, failure to respond to the supplier market engagement will not prohibit your involvement in any future procurement exercise if progressed via a publicly advertised tender opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040009-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Mar 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST YORKSHIRE COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 2DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLE4 West Yorkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79310000 - Market research services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 11 Dec 2024 at 17:46 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040009-2024 - 30 Aug 2024 at 16:19 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027827-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=88375&B=UK - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103257 - https://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
