Description of the goods or services required

Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) wishes to provide three accessible routes connecting up the Wales Coast Path (WCP) with local services in Magor, Undy and Caldicot, in southern Monmouthshire, which will:

> Promote healthier lives and increased physical activity and improve access to green spaces.

> Develop tourism products enhancing visitor experience for visitors to the county.
