Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark procured cycle training services for adults, families and children, including Bikeability training sessions. The work is a public service supporting people to develop cycling skills and confidence, with delivery across England. The requirement is primarily training-led, with the procurement also classified under repair and maintenance services and linked to bicycles, motor scooters and road control, safety or signalling equipment. This may indicate that operational delivery involves practical cycling activity and related road-safety considerations. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to cycle training providers, organisations delivering Bikeability or comparable programmes, and suppliers with the capability to plan and run sessions for different age groups and family audiences on behalf of a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date. Cycling Instructor Limited was selected as supplier for a value of £150,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £150,000. The process is recorded as a single service requirement covering delivery in England. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. This outcome shows that Southwark used a direct route rather than an open competition for this requirement. The procurement is therefore an award record rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For suppliers considering future cycle training work with Southwark, this award demonstrates demand for structured provision serving adults, families and children, including Bikeability sessions, over a multi-year period and at local-authority scale. A credible competitor would need qualified or suitably experienced instructors, the ability to deliver safe and engaging training to different age groups, and robust arrangements for scheduling, session management and safeguarding children and families. Experience of Bikeability or equivalent cycle-skills programmes would directly support a future response. Suppliers should also be able to operate consistently across the required geography, work within public-sector service expectations and evidence capacity to deliver a sustained programme rather than isolated training events. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so specialist cycle-training businesses can be relevant competitors.
