## Summary

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees commissioned an education and training service using theatre to deliver pedestrian safety messages in local primary schools. The tour is intended for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils who are beginning to travel more independently. The supplier is expected to produce, direct and deliver the performances, focused on road safety education rather than general classroom teaching. The work is delivered in primary school settings across Kirklees. This is relevant to theatre companies, education providers and road-safety specialists able to create age-appropriate educational content and work directly with schools. It may also suit organisations that combine live performance with structured public safety or prevention campaigns for children.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Riot Act Ltd, an SME based in Leeds. The award was made on 10 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. It runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. The contract value is £164,000 excluding VAT and £196,800 including VAT. This was a below-threshold limited competition in which quotations were invited from suppliers with relevant experience and sufficient delivery capacity. There was one completed lot, covering the full road-safety theatre service, and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates a defined market for commissioned live theatre that delivers practical road-safety education to primary-aged children through local schools. Competitors seeking similar work with Kirklees would need to show relevant experience in producing and directing educational performances, translating pedestrian-safety messages into engaging material for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils, and delivering a coordinated tour across multiple school settings. Credible suppliers would also need enough operational capacity to schedule and perform the programme reliably in schools, manage production requirements and work appropriately with children and school staff. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national provider.
