## Summary

Herefordshire Council, based in Hereford, UK, is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process under the tender initiation type. The Council is seeking information for a project titled "RFI relating to Detailed Design Services for Active Travel Measures in Hereford." This tender involves the Architectural, Construction, Engineering, and Inspection Services industry category and is part of the public authority’s efforts to enhance active travel infrastructure. A Request for Information (RFI) has been issued to gather insights, with responses due by 29 October 2025. The contract period for the project is anticipated to start on 1 January 2026 and end on 1 September 2026. The process is not yet competitive as it is for information gathering at this stage.

This preliminary market engagement offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in detailed design consultancy and engineering services to position themselves as influential contributors to Hereford’s active travel initiatives. Companies with experience in delivering architectural and engineering solutions for public infrastructure projects will find this prospect particularly appealing. The RFI process invites vendors to present their capacity and interest, potentially leading to more formal procurement opportunities in the future. Businesses willing to engage in early stages of project planning and contribute ideas might gain a competitive advantage for subsequent phases of contracting once the procurement process is formally underway.
