PQ0705 - Behavioural Systems Mapping
Authority: Birmingham City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionBirmingham City Council (the Council) is seeking to commission a specialist behavioural science consultancy to design and deliver a comprehensive behavioural systems model to understand the drivers of car and vehicle dependency across Birmingham and determine targets for behavioural interventions.
This work will directly support the development and implementation of the city’s Healthy Streets programme, which aims to shape neighbourhoods that are safer, easier to navigate, and more pleasant to live in by supporting greater use of walking, cycling and public transport, and decreasing dependence on private vehicles.
Vehicle dependency is a multifaceted behavioural challenge influenced by numerous interacting factors, such as habits, feelings of safety and ease, access to transport options, and broader environmental and societal influences. To address this complexity, BCC requires a robust, evidence‑informed modelling approach capable of identifying the most influential behavioural drivers and the highest‑impact opportunities for change.
The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.

Competition analysis · published record, not a forecast of who will bid
How Birmingham City Council buys Consultative engineering and construction services (CPV 7131) — and who usually turns up
Birmingham City Council’s own published record, next to the West Midlands market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: sector page →
How the contest usually goes
Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards report one bid by definition and are left out. Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Method and what to read with care
- Two columns, no blending. The authority column walks its own record only: notices in the 4-digit class, then the 2-digit division, then all categories (36 months, per lot, contested only), and as a last resort its 24-month row across all categories (per notice, every route). The market column is the notice’s primary delivery ITL1 × the same class, then division (36 months). Nothing is filled from the UK-wide class; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable.
- Per lot, contested only. Find a Tender publishes bid counts per lot; a seven-lot tender is seven contests. Procedures awarded without competition (limited / direct) are excluded from bids, price pairs and decision days — they report one bid by definition. Frameworks and DPS are a separate population from contracts (6–7 bids per lot against 2–4) and only the notice’s own kind is shown.
- Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). Award-vs-estimate pairs need a lot estimate, one active award on the lot, one canonical supplier and a gap under 60 %; about 30 % of pairs are exact matches (the buyer published the award at the estimate). n is on every figure; below 3 the tile is muted, never hidden.
- Pounds. The expected award applies the authority’s median movement (or the region’s, when the authority has fewer than 3 pairs) to this notice’s estimate; the middle half uses the region’s quartiles. A multi-lot notice publishes an envelope, so the movement is applied per lot, never to the total. A benchmark, not a recommended price.
- “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
