Inviaition to Tender for the Provision of a Sustainable Transport School Engagement Programme

Tender description

The Isle of Wight Council invites tenders from suitably qualified providers for the provision of a sustainable transport school engagement programme. The contract is to run from 1st April 2016 for a period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further two 12 month periods should funding become available. Any extension to the contract will be at the sole discretion of the Council. The Supplier will deliver travel behaviour change to young people during the 16/17 financial year through a programme of school engagement. This Sustainable Transport School Engagement programme will deliver a series of proven interventions in and around educational settings to change the travel behaviour of students which will enable and encourage young people, their families, staff and neighbouring communities to walk and cycle more often. The Council is not prescriptive on the approach to programme design and methodology; however it is anticipated that programme content will include a team of suitably skilled and experienced personnel to provide travel advice, training, events and incentives tailored to the unique geography and circumstance of the Islands 49 schools. The programme will focus on inspiring young people to travel to and from school more sustainably, building on existing school travel plans already prepared and adopted by the schools.
