What is being bought

Published requirement description

DfI, in partnership with PHA, seeks to commission a new programme which will encourage and support more children to regularly walk and cycle to school. This new procurement will aim to draw together various strands of work currently undertaken by each body such as active travel programmes supporting communities and workplaces. The scope of this contract invites the design, provision and delivery of a programme of co-ordinated sustainable travel to school activities which will result in more children cycling, wheeling, scooting and walking to school more safely and more often. The programme will support schools to develop a culture of active travel within the whole school, which will be sustained after the lifetime of the programme. It will secure an increase in awareness of all participants of the benefits and challenges of travelling to and from school either as pedestrians or cyclists and support behavioural change to be more physically active throughout the day. The contract will also develop and deliver a programme of both walking and cycling skills training to increase the competence levels of all participants and better equip participants to travel to school safely by sustainable modes and provide increased opportunities for demonstrating the health and well-being benefits of active travel.

Review procedure

CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and, where appropriate, will incorporate a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. This provides time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.

Publisher note: The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored in line with the tender documentation. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated. The issue of a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance can result in the Contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a period of three years from the date of issue.
