Framework Agreement for Travel Demand Management

Somerset County Council is looking to let a multi lot supplier framework for an initial integrated programme of travel demand management within Bridgwater the purpose of the programme is to:

• Deal with road safety risks, particularly for non-motorised users such as pedestrians and cyclists.

Maximise the opportunities for managing travel, in particular to encourage modal shift through increased levelsof walking and cycling.

• Achieve reliability and consistency of journey times across the Hinkley Point C (HPC) HGV corridors during construction of HPC.

It is anticipated that this framework will be used beyond this programme to support the delivery of travel demand projects and programmes that Somerset County Council may wish to deliver in addition to this to be used by members of the South West Highways Alliance.

Working with employers, corporate organisations as well as charities to identify and deliver travel demand management solutions. This lot covers any size of organisation delivering goods, services or works within a specific geographical area.

For the purpose of the initial known work this includes:

• EDF Energy;
• Key businesses in Bridgwater;
• Key businesses outside Bridgwater but with large concentrations of Bridgwater resident employees;
• New businesses (in particular HPC supply chain); and
• Representative Bodies.
