Description
Following the recent announcement of £13 million for the West Midlands Active Travel Fund, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is working with local authorities to deliver towards the Starley Network announced during Summer 2020. The new funding means that planned projects can now go ahead. Amongst other things, these projects aim to help people to improve their mental health and increase physical activity.
In light of the above TfWM, part of the WMCA (West Midlands Combined Authority) is looking to procure consultancy support to provide resource to support walking and cycling activity in the West Midlands Active Travel Fund Programme in local communities. These will be rolled out to maximum effect to enable inclusive access to the new infrastructure and wider cycling and walking network.

- Lot 1 - Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton)
