## Summary

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is commissioning a residents’ travel behaviour and attitudes survey covering walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport. The work involves designing a research methodology and questionnaire tools compatible with the previous approach, carrying out area-wide “push-to-online” fieldwork, cleaning and analysing the data, and delivering specified outputs for further analysis and modelling. The survey will cover up to 16 areas across the UK, including eight in Scotland, with each area requiring at least 1,100 respondents from a representative sample of residents. This is a research and survey services requirement, including survey design, fieldwork and analysis. Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, a sustainable transport charity based in Bristol, is the buyer.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is for a single-supplier framework, with a maximum of one participant, and one iteration of fieldwork is intended. The estimated value is £675,000, covering the sole lot. Bids were due electronically by 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time; the award period starts then. The contract period is 27 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, and bids must remain valid until 1 November 2027 at 23:59 UTC. Submissions must be in English and variants are not permitted. Evaluation and suitability requirements are set out in the Invitation to Tender, with economic and technical selection criteria; bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned.

This opportunity suits established market research, social research and survey agencies able to manage a UK-wide, multi-area programme at scale. Strong candidates will be able to develop robust methodologies and questionnaire tools while maintaining compatibility with an existing survey approach, recruit a representative resident sample, and secure at least 1,100 respondents in each participating area. The requirement also calls for reliable online survey fieldwork, data cleaning, statistical analysis and production of defined outputs that can support later modelling. Suppliers should have suitably qualified staff across research design, fieldwork management, data processing and analysis, and be able to name those personnel in their bid. Experience of transport behaviour, active travel, public transport, attitudes research or comparable resident surveys would be directly relevant.
