Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured a cycle-voucher supply arrangement under its wider Mobility Credits scheme. The requirement covers bicycles, cycles with auxiliary motors, bicycle parts and accessories, and the associated provision of vouchers that residents of new housing developments can use towards transport options. The work is delivered for residents in Coventry. The arrangement supports residents who choose cycle vouchers rather than public transport credit, with the council managing the public-sector programme. Suppliers relevant to this requirement include cycle retailers, bicycle and e-bike distributors, and businesses able to provide a broad online product range, accessories, voucher ordering and redemption, aftercare and servicing. The requirement is for goods supported by an operational voucher fulfilment service, rather than bicycle supply alone.

The procurement is complete and awarded following an open procedure. XLR8 Sports Limited was selected on 17 June 2026 after two bids were received, with one final-stage bid. The award value is £5,500,000 excluding VAT and £6,600,000 including VAT. The signed contract is valued at the same amounts, was signed on 10 August 2026, and runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028. Four two-year extension periods are available, subject to council review, with a maximum end date of 9 August 2036. Evaluation weighted voucher discount at 50%, product and online range at 10%, voucher ordering process at 20%, aftercare and servicing at 10%, and accessories at 10%. Valid undisputed invoices are payable within 30 days.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to combine cycle retail or distribution capacity with a reliable voucher operation. The winning requirement shows that price competitiveness matters, but product breadth, an online range, an efficient ordering process, aftercare and servicing, and the availability of accessories are also material to success. Suppliers should be able to support residents using mobility credits, fulfil electronic or physical vouchers promptly, and maintain accurate ordering, redemption and reporting arrangements. Operational resilience is important because the council identified risks around supplier financial stability, fulfilment delays, fraud, system outages, voucher acceptance and end-user experience. Businesses with established cycle and e-bike supply chains, strong customer support, secure digital systems and suitable financial capacity would be well placed.
