What is being bought

Published requirement description

This commission is to develop a Movement and Place Plan for York which will consider priority areas for major new development and public realm investment and how transport can be reshaped, city wide, to significantly reduce through traffic and enable the benefits of place-based development to be maximised. The project is split across two phases. Further information is contained within Open ITT Volume 2 - Specification.

For the avoidance of any doubt, as at the starting date funding has only been confirmed for the Packages/Task Orders under Phase 1. Phase 2 Packages/Task Orders are subject to further funding being awarded to the Client at a later date, and the Client gives no guarantee that it will proceed with Phase 2 until such funding has been confirmed.

What this means for your bid
