Walking Programmes for the South Essex Active Travel (SEAT) Programme

The South Essex Active Travel programme is funded by the Department for Transport and will promote a step change in travel engagement to act as a catalyst for increasing active travel. The integrated approach will facilitate economic growth and improve access to 12,100 new local jobs as well as to 10,500 education and training opportunities by delivering an innovative and accessible travel intervention programme, including cycle hubs, bike loans and training. Focusing in the six Growth Areas the programme will be enhanced through an umbrella travel awareness campaign to increase active travel trips. The programme will specifically target and support jobseekers, young people, new employees, students, lower socio-economic communities and volunteers

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is inviting quotation proposals from suitably qualified and experienced organisations or consortia to deliver walking programmes across Southend, South East Essex and Thurrock.
