Liverpool City Region Active Travel Maps

Procurement reference

PRA000727

Procurement description

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is looking to create a new active travel map (walking, wheeling and cycling), primarily concentrating on cycle routes and facilities across the city region. The supplier will work with the LCRCA and the six constituent authorities (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral) to develop a map that is both clear and easy to use. The result of the contract will be six maps (1 for each local authority area) of active travel facilities such as segregated cycle lanes, off road cycle networks and on road quiet routes. The mapping data that is created by the successful supplier will be owned solely by the LCRCA. This is so that when new routes and facilities are built, the maps can be easily updated by the internal personnel using a standard specification.

The maps will need to include key destinations, safety information, key landmarks, bike shops, repair stations, and links to public transport hubs. These will be determined with the successful supplier. Maps must have clear legibility and at an accurate scale for urban areas and consistent, intuitive symbology for different types of cycling infrastructure. Maps must meet accessibility standards, ensuring they are usable for people with visual impairments or varying levels of experience.

We would like potential suppliers to provide us with a short statement (no more than 500 words) as to how they feel they could best suit our needs and their ethos as an organisation along with (if they have them) examples of Active Travel Maps they have previously made.
