## Summary

Derbyshire County Council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, has completed a procurement process for site-investigation services under the project title "Ilkeston - Great Northern Greenway (Town Centre)." The contract was awarded to Sustrans, a large-scale supplier located in Bristol. The greenway project concentrates on assessing and optimising cycle provision between the Nutbrook Trail and Erewash Canal Valley Trail in Ilkeston, UKF1 region. The cycle route development process involves various assessments and workshops. The procurement was executed below threshold with an unknown method, and the contract is valid from 15th September 2025 to 31st December 2025. It was officially signed on 27th August 2025.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in outdoor and environmental consultancy services, especially those focusing on sustainable transport solutions. Companies specialising in site audits, feasibility studies, and infrastructure design would find the process aligned with their core competencies. Given the project's focus on enhancing greenway infrastructure, businesses advocating for sustainable and environmentally friendly initiatives will be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, fostering domain-specific expertise and exposure to governmental projects.

## Notice

This includes a review of the existing cycle provision along the route (to ensure compliance with LTN 1/20), an assessment into the feasibility of cycle provision for the sections listed as missing along the route. The scope of this work will include an assessment of alternative routes to optimise the greenway, site audits, site visits and a stakeholder design workshop to contribute to a series of Preliminary designs along the route. This commission relates to the central route of the proposed development, passing through Ilkeston between Straws Bridge and Erewash Canal . It must be noted that the existing and proposed sections along the route must be considered not in isolation but within context of each other to provide a single completed route between Nutbrook Trail and Erewash Canal Valley Trail.
