## Description
Preliminary Market Engagement (PME): LCWIP
1. Introduction & Project Background
Marlow Town Council (MTC) is developing a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) to create a safer, more coherent, and attractive active travel network for walking, cycling and wheeling across Marlow.
MTC is a proactive town council. Crucially, we are not starting from scratch. Over the summer, a dedicated active travel working group and council officers are undertaking hands-on community engagement:
•	In-person stalls and interactive engagement at the Marlow Town Regatta and Borlase Summer Fete.
•	Targeted outreach and feedback gathered via local school newsletters.
•	Usage survey and weekday count on a key east-west alleyway in the town.
•	A dedicated public engagement event at the Town Council offices (planned for mid-August).
•	Initial discussions with the local business community.
We have obtained valuable raw data, local insights, school travel patterns, and a clear picture of the community's active travel aspirations.
As a parish-tier authority, MTC has a limited budget. We wish to undertake a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise to explore how specialist consultants can partner with us to deliver the remaining technical workstreams of the LCWIP in an efficient, cost-effective, and highly collaborative manner.
2. Scope of Requirements (Proposed Workstreams)
The standard DfT LCWIP technical guidance involves a 6-stage process. MTC is seeking a consultant partner to lead or support the following workstreams, leveraging our existing local data and knowledge to minimise costs: 
Workstream 1: Evidence Base Consolidation & GIS Mapping
•	Consolidate existing travel data, crash/collision data, and the raw qualitative data collected by MTC during the summer engagement.
•	Identify key trip attractors (schools, employment, shopping, leisure, transport hubs). 
•	Develop a baseline GIS map of Marlow's existing active travel network, highlighting barriers (e.g., river crossings, major junctions, pinch points) and opportunities.
Workstream 2: Cycle & Walking Network Planning (DfT Methodology)
•	Drafting of the Cycling Network Plan (identifying key corridors, desire lines, and route categorizations). 
•	Drafting of the Walking Network Plan (identifying Core Pedestrian Areas and key walking routes). 
•	Use standard DfT auditing tools-such as the Route Selection Tool (RST) and Pedestrian Comfort Assessment (PCA)-to assess current route quality against LTN 1/20 design standards.
Workstream 3: Prioritised Infrastructure Programme & Draft LCWIP Report
•	Develop a high-level, prioritised list of infrastructure schemes (categorized into short-, medium-, and long-term delivery). 
•	Provide high-level, indicative cost estimates and constructability assessments for priority schemes. 
•	Synthesize this into a draft, professional Marlow LCWIP Report that can be used to leverage external funding bids (such as from the Buckinghamshire Council, local developers or national a...
