Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Bikeability Cycle Training 2023" was conducted by Leeds City Council. It focused on providing cycle training to schools in Leeds within the services category, specifically under training services. The process has been completed with Cycle Leeds Ltd T/A Cycle North being awarded a contract valued at £2,000,000. The open procedure method was utilised, and the contract period spans from 1st September 2023 to 31st August 2025. Key locations include Leeds and surrounding areas, with delivery extending to various international regions such as British Overseas Territories and Europe. The procurement covered essential education sectors, notably primary and safety education services, with the final award being announced on 8th June 2023.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, especially those focusing on youth and safety education. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for such contracts, given the procurement's emphasis on training programme services and a preference for engaging smaller businesses. The large-scale nature of this project and the international delivery scope present potential avenues for companies aiming to expand their service reach beyond local borders. Engaging in such public procurement processes can provide businesses with stable, long-term growth prospects and enhance their service portfolio by addressing educational needs at grass-roots levels.
