Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council conducted a procurement process for the "Bikeability" cycle training programme, aimed at promoting safe cycling practices amongst school pupils in Manchester, UK. This initiative is part of the public authority's effort to encourage children to cycle to school, thereby reducing reliance on cars. The process reached the contract award stage as of 5 March 2026, with the contract starting on 1 April 2026 and set to conclude by 1 August 2026. The procurement method was direct, falling below the threshold and thus executed without competition. The opportunity is classified under services within the primary education sector, targeting schools across the Greater Manchester region.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and safety training services related to cycling. Particularly, service providers with expertise in delivering comprehensive training programmes to young learners would be well-suited to compete for future tenders in this category. SMEs, such as the Nationwide Cycling Academy, which secured the contract, demonstrate that organisations with targeted skills in cycle training could leverage such opportunities to expand their operations within educational services and potentially gain additional contracts in upcoming tenders when Salford City Council initiates a new full tender process at the end of the current contract extension period.
