Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council has awarded a contract titled "AT1484 Bikeability Cycle Training" to OUTSPOKEN TRAINING LLP as part of an open procurement method. This procurement relates to training services for Bikeability, a national cycle training programme targeting school children in the region of UKH21, United Kingdom. The cycle training programme, designed to equip children with the necessary skills and confidence for cycling on roads, will run from April 2026 to March 2027, with potential renewals based on funding and performance extending to March 2029. The completion of the award process was recorded on 27 March 2026, with the contract being valued at £154,128.00 (net amount). The procurement method employed was an open competition, below threshold, and the nature of the procurement falls under services.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those focused on cycling and active travel initiatives. Companies with expertise in delivering practical training to school children in line with national standards are well-suited to vie for similar contracts. With the emphasis on increasing participation and achieving Level 2 rider outcomes, service providers capable of scaling operations and adapting to the requirements of Luton schools can benefit from potential contract renewals. Flexibility in extending services contingent upon funding also provides a pathway for business growth in the community, reinforcing Active Travel England's goals for primary school children. Small and medium-sized enterprises registered on the Bikeability register stand a strong chance of competing effectively in such tenders.
