The purpose of this RFQ is to identify a supplier to deliver activities that will contribute to the upcoming primary portfolio on sustainable transport. The goal is to ensure the development of comprehensive policy recommendations that consider both the technical and social aspects of sustainable transport. This approach is expected to enhance the likelihood of successful implementation of transport policies, supporting the achievement of key outcomes within the portfolio. The selected supplier will initially provide support over an 11-month period to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and Office of Transport Planning (OTP) while working alongside other complementary UK PACT activities. The continuation of support beyond this period will be reassessed at the end of the first year. The supplier's responsibilities will be divided into two distinct phases: Phase 1: Dec 2024 - Feb 2025 Inception, Capacity Assessment, and Baselining This phase includes one workshop in 2024 to introduce the concept of Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) in urban transport to the counterpart and key stakeholders. The workshop will aim to assess their knowledge and capacity baseline. Additionally, it will provide early support to the Office of Transport Planning (OTP) to initiate a public campaign by early 2025, with follow-up capacity-building workshops conducted as needed between Nov 2024 and Feb 2025. Phase 2: Mar 2025 - Oct 2025 Development, Policy Recommendation, and Implementation During this phase, the supplier will develop and finalize policy recommendations, alongside an implementation and action plan for the SBCC strategy.
