Summary of the contracting process

The North Northamptonshire Council has undertaken a procurement process titled "North Northamptonshire Council Bikeability Programme 2024 - 2026," classified under training services within the services category. The procurement pertains to providing Bikeability training services across schools in North Northamptonshire, with an extension until 31st August 2026 due to unforeseen circumstances related to grant funding by the Bikeability Trust. The process reached the contract update stage as of 7th April 2026, with the supplier being Outspoken Training LLP. This council-managed procurement was conducted following the Open Procedure, according to Public Contracts Regulations 2015, with the contract actively awarded on 31st March 2026, valued at £266,634 GBP.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in delivering educational or training services, particularly those with expertise in cycling proficiency programmes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit from participating in such opportunities, given the council's emphasis on procuring economically advantageous tenders. With a focus on service delivery in UKF25, businesses operating within or near Northamptonshire may have logistical advantages, and firms with a background in working with schools or youth groups, such as cubs and scouts, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
