## Summary

Kent County Council commissioned a primary-school active-travel service under the Living Streets Walk once a week (WOW) programme. Living Streets, a charity recommended by Active Travel England, is to work with primary schools across Kent to encourage children and families to travel actively to school. The service includes providing programme resources, supplying staff time, recruiting participating schools and collecting programme data. The procurement is classified as a service, with the activity described under highways consultancy services. The buying organisation is Kent County Council, a sub-central public authority. Delivery is focused on schools and communities throughout Kent, rather than on a single named site. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations with experience in school travel behaviour, active-travel promotion, community engagement and data collection.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Living Streets. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the recorded method described as unknown. The award covers one lot and was made on 7 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 7 July 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its value is £72,098 excluding VAT, or £86,517.60 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process leading to the award, but no award criteria are recorded in the available outcome. This is a completed council purchase rather than a current tender, and the selected supplier is Living Streets. The contract concerns delivery of the full WOW service across Kent primary schools.

For a supplier assessing future work of this type, the award shows demand for a joined-up school active-travel programme delivered across a county. A credible competitor would need to combine practical resources with staff capacity to support schools, recruit and maintain participation, encourage regular active travel, and collect reliable outcome data. Experience working with primary schools and local communities would be important, as would the ability to coordinate delivery across multiple locations and communicate with school staff and families. The buyer also accepted a specialist charity recommended by Active Travel England, indicating that sector credibility and recognised expertise in active-travel promotion may matter. Organisations able to evidence behaviour-change delivery, partnership working, structured recruitment and robust monitoring would be well placed when this requirement returns.
