How to win: LCWIP

About this contract

Preliminary Market Engagement (PME): LCWIP 1. Introduction & Project Background Marlow Town Council (MTC) is developing a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) to create a safer, more coherent, and attractive active travel network for walking, cycling and wheeling across Marlow. MTC is a proactive town council. Crucially, we are not starting from scratch. Over the summer, a dedicated active travel working group and council officers are undertaking hands-on community engagement: • In-person stalls and interactive engagement at the Marlow Town Regatta and Borlase Summer Fete. • Targeted outreach and feedback gathered via local school newsletters. • Usage survey and weekday count on a key east-west alleyway in the town. • A dedicated public engagement event at the Town Council offices (planned for mid-August). • Initial discussions with the local business community. We have obtained valuable raw data, local insights, school travel patterns, and a clear picture of the community's active travel aspirations. As a parish-tier authority, MTC has a limited budget. We wish to undertake a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise to explore how specialist consultants can partner
