## Summary

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is commissioning a residents’ travel behaviour and attitudes survey covering walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport. The work is a research and data-analysis service, classified under CPV 79311000, and covers up to 16 areas across the UK, including eight in Scotland. The successful supplier will design a research methodology and questionnaire tools compatible with the previous approach, undertake area-wide “push-to-online” fieldwork, clean and analyse the results, and provide specified outputs for further analysis and modelling by the Trust. The research must obtain at least 1,100 respondents for each survey. The buyer intends to commission one fieldwork iteration, with delivery across the relevant UK areas.

The procurement has reached tender: Walk Wheel Cycle Trust invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-supplier framework with one permitted participant and one lot. The contract is valued at £675,000 GBP. Bids must be submitted by 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with evaluation scheduled to begin at that time. The contract period runs from 27 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, and bids must remain valid until 1 November 2027. The procurement does not allow variants. Selection is based on suitability requirements set out in the Invitation to Tender documents, and bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Submissions must be in English.

This opportunity suits established market-research agencies, social-research consultancies and survey specialists able to manage multi-area UK fieldwork at scale. Strong candidates will need to design robust resident sampling and questionnaire methods, maintain compatibility with an established survey methodology, and secure at least 1,100 respondents in each participating area. The work also requires practical experience of push-to-online survey delivery, fieldwork management, data cleaning, statistical analysis and production of reliable outputs for subsequent modelling. Suppliers should be able to provide suitably qualified staff and demonstrate the organisational capacity to coordinate delivery across as many as 16 areas, including substantial work in Scotland. Capability in walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport or wider travel-behaviour research would be directly relevant.
