## Notice

The New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA or 'the Authority'), supported by Hampshire County Council (HCC) is seeking a consultant / consultancy to prepare an Active Travel Feasibility Study for a route between Lyndhurst and Lymington in the New Forest National Park, Hampshire, known in the New Forest LCWIP (to be approved June 2025) as Route 120. The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify options for this important utility and leisure route through the New Forest. The study will need to look at the provision of new walking and cycling (and, where appropriate, equestrian) options along Route 120 from Lyndhurst to Lymington. The route has further very important utility and leisure connections to the north and east Hampshire County Council is the Highway Authority for all the roads identified above. A variety of landowners, most notably Forestry England and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust own land along the route, where some permissive path and bridleway options exist. The recommended high-level design options will need to be in accordance with relevant policies and guidance documents, and engagement with their officers will be essential. The study will need to identify appropriate interventions, consider all relevant constraints and risks, then recommend preferred options with high-level concept designs and realistic costings. The final study should be completed by 30 June 2025, unless the partners agree to an extension. Regular updates including a written monthly progress report will be provided to the partners throughout the study period. The contract value is expected to be in the range of PS20,000 to PS30,000. Responses should be broken down into parts to assist evaluation of overall costs to deliver this work.
