The work will identify the behavioural, environmental and societal factors that influence private-vehicle use, including habits, perceptions of safety and ease, and access to transport options. It will determine behavioural intervention targets and support the Council’s Healthy Streets programme, which seeks safer, easier-to-navigate and more pleasant neighbourhoods through increased walking, cycling and public transport use. This is a research and consultancy services requirement, covering behavioural systems mapping, evidence-informed modelling and social research. Delivery is in Birmingham, for the Council’s transport and healthy-neighbourhoods objectives. The procurement is presented as a single requirement rather than a package of separate service areas. The procurement reached tender: Birmingham City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission permitted through its e-tendering system. Enquiries were due by 12:00 noon on 1 October 2026, and completed submissions were due by 12:00 noon on 8 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 9 November 2026 to 8 September 2027, a period of 10 months. The estimated total value is £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The tender comprises one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% to quality and 30% to price. Potential suppliers must register on the Council’s e-tendering system to express interest and access the quotation documentation. This opportunity suits a behavioural science, transport research or social research consultancy able to investigate complex travel behaviour and translate evidence into practical intervention targets. Strong candidates will be able to design and deliver a comprehensive behavioural systems model, analyse interacting behavioural, environmental and societal influences, and identify the drivers with the greatest potential for change. Relevant capability includes research design, evidence gathering, systems thinking, behavioural analysis and clear presentation of findings for a public-sector Healthy Streets programme. Experience relating to walking, cycling, public transport, vehicle dependency, road safety or neighbourhood transport planning would be directly relevant to the subject matter. The requirement is likely to suit a focused specialist consultancy or a research-led team able to combine behavioural science with transport and social research expertise. ## Notice Birmingham City Council (the Council) is seeking to commission a specialist behavioural science consultancy to design and deliver a comprehensive behavioural systems model to understand the drivers of car and vehicle dependency across Birmingham and determine targets for behavioural interventions. This work will directly support the development and implementation of the city's Healthy Streets programme, which aims to shape neighbourhoods that are safer, easier to navigate, and more pleasant to live in by supporting greater use of walking, cycling and public transport, and decreasing dependence on private vehicles. Vehicle dependency is a multifaceted behavioural challenge influenced by numerous interacting factors, such as habits, feelings of safety and ease, access to transport options, and broader environmental and societal influences. To address this complexity, BCC requires a robust, evidence-informed modelling approach capable of identifying the most influential behavioural drivers and the highest-impact opportunities for change.
