Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) and Public Health Scotland (PHS) are procuring a Cycle to Work Scheme intended for roughly 4,720 employees across Scotland. The tender process falls under the category of management-related services and adheres to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The procurement stage has advanced to an awarded contract with Blackhawk network EMEA Ltd. as the chosen supplier, following an open procedure. Spanning four years and potentially extendable by two additional years, the contract entails financial leasing services within the region of UKM. The contract was initially signed on 23 May 2024, for a total value of £366,000, indicating an error in the initial notice regarding annual values. Notably, the tender period concluded on 18 December 2023.

This Cycle to Work initiative presents substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in financial leasing services and those with capabilities to facilitate the distribution and maintenance of bicycles across Scotland. With stringent selection criteria requiring an online ordering capacity and local presence, suppliers with a robust technical infrastructure and regional outreach stand to gain especially from this engagement. Targeting delivery of management-related and financial services, both small and large enterprises that can demonstrate technical proficiency and cost competitiveness would be well-placed to vie for similar future contracts in this industry sector.
