Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council procured Bikeability delivery in Salford. The requirement is an education and training service focused on delivering cycling training to primary-age pupils. The council is the buying organisation and the work takes place in Salford, within Greater Manchester. The procurement covers one service requirement rather than separate goods, construction or infrastructure works. It is relevant to providers of school-based cycling instruction, Bikeability delivery and related education or training services. Organisations that can plan and deliver structured sessions for primary schools, work with the council and support pupils through the required training programme are the closest fit. The service sits within primary education services, training services and broader education and training services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Three bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. Bikeright! Limited was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The awarded value is £448,663.50 excluding VAT and £538,396.20 including VAT. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2029. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026 at 2pm; clarification questions closed on 15 May 2026 at 2pm. The award decision period ended on 1 August 2026, with the standstill period ending on 14 August 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 45%, price at 40% and social value at 15%.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of school-based cycling education and Bikeability training. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and all three final-stage bids came from SMEs, indicating that the work can be contested by specialist smaller providers as well as larger training organisations. A credible competitor would need the capability to deliver primary-school cycling instruction across Salford, organise reliable delivery for schools and demonstrate a strong service model. Quality was the largest evaluation element, so providers should be able to evidence effective teaching and dependable contract delivery. Price remained significant, while social value formed part of the assessment, favouring suppliers able to show wider community benefits alongside education and training expertise.
