Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Bike Parking Scheme," which falls under the industry category of bicycle parts and accessories. The procurement, conducted under a direct method without competition due to being below threshold, was aimed at a public authority under sub-central government. Spanning the UKC23 region of Sunderland, United Kingdom, the project's contract period begins on 17th November 2025 and concludes on 16th November 2028. The tender process has proceeded to the award stage, with an upcoming signature milestone due on 14th November 2025.

This tender offers significant business opportunities for organisations specialised in providing bicycle-related goods, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With Sunderland City Council being a notable buyer in the public sector, businesses able to deliver high-quality bike parking facilities could leverage this opportunity to establish a strong foothold in public sector contracts. Park That Bike Limited, an SME in Gloucestershire, has been identified as the supplier, underscoring the suitability of SMEs for such projects within the UK. Organisations focusing on sustainability and expanding their government contract portfolio will find this type of contract especially appealing.
