    Brief

    Active Travel England (ATE) is seeking specialist technical support services to review and assure walking, wheeling, and cycling schemes across England. The contractor will provide independent design and accessibility reviews of hundreds of transport schemes, major planning applications, and local development plans against national standards before funding is committed or construction begins. Key responsibilities include: identifying design issues early to improve public safety and accessibility; ensuring value for money and reducing post-construction remediation costs; strengthening ATE's ability to influence new developments; and ensuring all facilities are safe and inclusive for all users. This three-year contract is critical for timely scheme approvals, funding decisions, and successful active travel infrastructure delivery across England. Expertise required spans design, planning, and assurance disciplines.
