Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a Cycle to Work Scheme Provider, with the contract awarded to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Ltd. This procurement, aligned with the UK's public authority regulations, was conducted through a limited competition method below the threshold, indicating a more streamlined selection process. The contract, signed on 17 June 2025, commenced on 1 July 2025 and is set to run until 30 June 2028, with an option to extend for an additional year. The contract, valued at £160,000 (excluding VAT), involves providing a tax-free cycle hire scheme for North Somerset Council employees. The scheme falls under the goods category, specifically bicycles, with the main delivery location in Weston-super-Mare, UK.

This procurement presents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for companies in the cycling and sustainable transport sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in providing HMRC-compliant cycle hire schemes could find similar tenders an excellent way to expand their B2B services. Companies that specialise in sustainable and green transport solutions, and those capable of delivering innovative cycle schemes, stand to benefit as public authorities increasingly adopt sustainable employee benefits. The partnership with North Somerset Council showcases the potential for collaboration with public sector organisations in delivering eco-friendly initiatives.
