Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was initiated by Norfolk County Council, a sub-central public authority in the United Kingdom, for the provision of a staff travel scheme involving bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters around Norwich. The process, which falls under the services category, was completed with the award of the contract to Smidsy Limited. The contract, valued at £75,000, or £90,000 including VAT, spans from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The legal basis for this tender is under the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023, and it follows a procurement method indicated as "Below threshold - unknown".

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for companies operating within the services sector, particularly those specialising in advertising and marketing services, as Smidsy Limited, an SME, was selected as the supplier. Businesses with the capability to manage and promote alternative transport schemes would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The tender underscores a growing market for sustainable travel solutions, suggesting that potential suppliers can leverage this opportunity to expand their offerings and client base in the public sector.
