Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council is conducting a public procurement process titled "Tackling Cycling Inequalities In Essex - Essex Pedal Power," aimed at providing quality bicycles to disadvantaged communities across Essex. Classified under the goods category, particularly "Parts and accessories for bicycles," this open tender is currently in the award stage following its completion. The procurement period for supplying potentially up to 3,000 bikes spans from April 2021 to March 2024, targeting areas like Jaywick and the most deprived wards in Clacton. The tender submission deadline was set for 15th February 2021, and the total value of the contract is approximately £500,000.

This initiative presents an excellent opportunity for businesses capable of supplying bicycles and associated accessories, particularly those large enough to handle bulk orders efficiently. Suppliers specialising in diverse bicycle types, including adult bikes, children's bikes, and adapted models for individuals with disabilities, would find this tender particularly suitable. The inclusion of volume discounts in the tender process also suggests that businesses with scalable operations could significantly benefit, contributing to the socio-economic upliftment of disadvantaged communities in Essex while expanding their market reach.

Notice Title

Tackling Cycling Inequalities In Essex - Essex Pedal Power

Notice Description

Essex Pedal Power scheme is focused on low-income communities where the need is highest, and the benefits of becoming regularly active through cycling are greatest. Our ambition is to address this through a large scale project. This scheme will be a priority for Essex County Council, as it links directly to the ECC Place and Public Health Business Plan, as well as plans for Business Recovery and Climate Change. Different approaches will be tested across Essex, including in Tendring replicating the successful Big Birmingham Bikes scheme delivered by TAWS which has been running for the past 7 years. The aspiration is to make this a county wide scheme to provide free bikes and support to up to 10% of the most deprived communities across the county. To begin with, the scheme would pilot in Jaywick and the 5 most deprived wards in Clacton (Alton Park, Bocking Elms, Pier, St Marys and Rush Green), with a plan to provide up to 3000 local people with new quality bikes in the pilot phase. These areas are some of the most deprived in Essex. This equates to approx 31,000 residents in total, with a plan to give away 3000 bikes in the pilot phase. (ratio of 1:10). Essex County Council is looking for a provider who is able to supply, potentially, up to 3000 bikes in phases from April 2021 to March 2024, acting as a large bike shop for the client (Essex County Council) with a catalogue of products available for supply. The range of bikes will vary depending on the need of the individuals, including adult hybrid bikes, and bikes suitable for children, disabled people, girls and women, older people, overweight and obese people, and couriers.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The core offer: High quality bikes that are centrally procured and distributed in a phased approach starting in Tendring in the specific low-income areas of Jaywick and top 5 most deprived wards in Clacton. District Councils and their area stakeholders will be able to shape the design of the programme and delivery model in line with their own strategic priorities and what the community need/wants are. Support would be given to develop clear insight based on the lived experience within the target communities. A proportion of the bikes (to be determined in conjunction with ECC) would be GPS tracked and their usage monitored. The total number of bikes procured would depend on a number of risk factors: The local demand for bikes and the emergence of different forms of transport - e.g., E Scooters Project may reduce in size if funding is withdrawn The pilot in Tendring is not successful and the scheme is scaled back or stopped The potential scale of this contract, (unit cost maximum PS350) must include bike, helmet, lock. lights, pump and delivery (not final build cost), is the procurement of up to 3000 bikes and therefore a clear process needs to be established for the phased ordering and delivery of bikes over a three-year period. Future phases are planned for other LDP areas and will continue to focus on our disadvantaged areas of Essex including Basildon, Colchester with potential to scale to areas such as Harlow, and Castle Point, subject to funding. Unit pricing: Supplier must be able to provide a range of bikes sizes from children's 12" wheel up to adult 21" frame. We would also welcome prices for cargo/e-cargo bikes and adapted bikes if providers can supply these for information only - this will not be scored. Volume discounts - Bidders are given the opportunity to apply volume discounts given the volume of units that the Authority will be ordering. An example of ranges is provided below and an option will be available in the pricing matrix if a bidder so wishes to offer such discounts.
