Summary of the contracting process

Classified under training services with the CPV code 80500000, this public contract is valued at £416,000. The service is to be delivered across the United Kingdom, focusing particularly on training both adults and schoolchildren within the borough. The contract was awarded on 22nd May 2025 to Cycling Instructor Ltd, following a limited procurement method due to business continuity considerations and specific timescale requirements.

Notice Title

RBKC The Cycle Training Service

Notice Description

The Council has been delivering cycle training to adults and school children continuously since 2006.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council has provided national standard accredited cycle training (Bikeability) to schools and to those who live, work or study in the borough continuously since 2006. The service has always been delivered by contractors as delivery by an in-house team would require significantly more management resources. The appointed Cycle Training provider is expected to handle bookings with schools and individuals, employment of staff, allocation of staff to bookings, quality control of delivery and staff accreditation within the Bikeability scheme structure.

Procurement Information

Business Continuity and Compliance; timescales and an urgency to implement. The The LBWF Cycle Training and Associated Active Travel Services Framework follows the Council's procurement approach hierarchy, namely that frameworks meeting the Council's needs should be evaluated first and selected when feasible. The new contract would introduce advanced equipment, enhancing the Borough's ability to manage MTCs efficiently and effectively.
