Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for appointing a supplier to implement a salary sacrifice cycle to work scheme. This initiative, fully supporting the Local Transport Plan (2022), Climate Strategy (2023), and Climate Policy (2024), aims to foster sustainable travel modes among its employees and qualifying staff from Norfolk schools. Classified under CPV code 98300000 (Miscellaneous services), this scheme aligns with Norfolk County Council’s strategic environmental policies. The contract was awarded to Blackhawk Network EMEA Ltd. with group affiliate Cyclescheme Ltd., with the contract being signed on 5th November 2024 under an open procedure, and the process being active as of 13th November 2024. The scheme will serve locations including Norwich and other regions in Norfolk (UKH15, UKH16, UKH17).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in employee benefits management, sustainable transport solutions, and related business services. Businesses equipped with robust delivery mechanisms for bicycles, business travel services, and other consulting services would find this scheme highly lucrative, particularly given the scheme’s potential to attract over 6000 employees with no direct cost to the Council but value generation dependent on employee participation. Providing services under this scheme can position suppliers at the vanguard of sustainable travel initiatives, aligning them with increasing public sector efforts to reduce carbon footprint and promote employee welfare.
