Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Watford Borough Council has awarded a contract for the extension of a bike share scheme to Smidsy Ltd T/A Beryl. The procurement process pertains to the provision of services to the community, classified under the CPV code 75200000. This contract is an extension of the original agreement dated 22 October 2019, with the new contract set to start on 1 April 2026 and conclude on 31 March 2031, inclusive of a rolling break clause after three years. The total value of the contract extension is £254,275. The award stage was completed on 14 November 2025, with details published on 20 November 2025. The bike share scheme covers various locations, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender represents an opportunity for large-scale enterprises focused on community service provision to participate in a structured framework of municipal transport services. While the contract has already been awarded, potential subcontracting or partnership avenues may exist for businesses engaged in sustainable urban mobility solutions. Companies with capabilities in urban planning, technology deployment for bike tracking, and fleet management might find collaborative opportunities with the main contractor or in similar future tenders announced by Watford Borough Council. Engaging in such projects can significantly boost a business's profile in the public sector, demonstrating experience and reliability in large-scale municipal contracts.
