Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service procured a Cycle to Work benefit scheme for its staff. The requirement concerns cycles with auxiliary motors, meaning electrically assisted bicycles, supplied as goods rather than construction or professional services. Delivery is centred on the CPS’s Crown Prosecution Service premises at 102 Petty France, London, with the procurement associated with London, United Kingdom. The scheme’s purpose is to provide access to cycle-to-work equipment through the employer’s staff benefit arrangements. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so relevant suppliers may include cycle retailers, e-bike providers and employee-benefit operators able to supply or administer electrically assisted bicycles for a public-sector workforce. The buyer is the CPS, and the selected supplier is SME HCI Limited.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The CPS used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than running a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2025 at 23:59 BST. The contract was awarded to SME HCI Limited on 3 February 2026. The awarded value is £0. The contract period runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2028. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available information identifies the requirement as goods and records the tender as suitable for SMEs. One supplier is recorded as awarded. The outcome is an active award for the Cycle to Work 25 benefit scheme, covering electrically assisted cycles for delivery in London.

This award demonstrates demand from the CPS for an employee cycle-to-work scheme centred on electrically assisted bicycles. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need practical capability in supplying e-bikes or coordinating access to them through a staff-benefit arrangement. Relevant strengths would include relationships with cycle manufacturers or retailers, a dependable fulfilment and customer-support operation, and the ability to manage employee orders and scheme administration consistently. Because the procurement was a framework call-off and was identified as suitable for SMEs, smaller specialist providers may be able to compete where they can meet the framework’s requirements and demonstrate reliable service delivery. Experience supporting employer-sponsored cycle schemes, public-sector customers or comparable workforce benefits would help establish credibility.
