Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Havering is currently in the tender stage for its Borough Cycle Training Contract, aimed at providing free cycle training for children and adults residing, studying, or working within the borough. This initiative is a part of the Transport for London’s funding allocation via the Local Implementation Plan to support the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy. The procurement process follows an open procedure to engage a Bikeability accredited provider for these services, with a contract commencing on 1st July 2026 and expected to run up to 31st March 2029 or until the £600,000 funding cap is reached. The tender submission deadline is 10th April 2026, with all procurement details available through the procurement portal. Interested bidders must complete submissions in English using the electronic portal by the specified deadline, with the award expected by 20th June 2026.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs that specialise in safety training, bicycles, or health and safety services. Given the potential for increased funding from external sources, such as Transport for London, there’s room for scalability in service offerings, which is appealing for companies looking to expand operations in the public sector market. This tender is suitable for businesses that have expertise in delivering comprehensive cycle training programmes and those able to adapt to potential fiscal expansions during the contract term. The focus on both price and quality in the award criteria also allows companies with competitive pricing and high-quality service delivery to vie effectively for this contract.

Bidder 1's price would attract a score of 76.92 calculated as follows: 1000/1300 = 0.7692 x 100 = 76.92 Price scores will then be multiplied by the price weighting to give a final price score. Example: In this example the price score of 76.92 is then multiplied by the overall price weighting of 40%, to give a final price score for evaluation purposes of 30.77calculated as follows: 76.92 x 0.40 = 30.77",
