Active Travel Community Engagement

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority Group has completed the procurement process for the "Active Travel Community Engagement" project, classified under the Community action programme (CPV code 85322000). The engagement focuses on promoting walking, wheeling, and cycling in neighbourhoods within Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. The procurement process, which utilised an open procedure, began with the tender period ending on 17th January 2025 and the contract period running from 7th February 2025 to 30th September 2025.

The project was awarded to Trueman Change for a value of £49,500, slightly below the initial estimated value of £50,000. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the open procedure and the project's focus on community engagement and regional partnerships. Companies skilled in community evidence gathering and regional engagement, especially those experienced in active travel and sustainable transport projects, would find this contract particularly suitable.

The work involves both developing community insights for Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and broader regional engagement, offering a platform for businesses to enhance their profiles within the public sector and community initiatives.
