Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Bikeability Cycle Training 2026" contract, managed by Sheffield City Council, has now reached the award stage. This initiative aims to deliver comprehensive cycling training across Sheffield, enhancing cycling skills and safety. The contracting authority responsible is Sheffield City Council, based in Town Hall, Pinstone Street, Sheffield. The procurement method used was an open procedure, suitable for public authority contractors. This contract falls under the category of education and training services, with a gross contract value of £394,226 and an initial contract period from 24th August 2026 to 23rd August 2027. The contract also includes an option for renewal up to a total of four years, subject to available funding. Key milestones include the scheduled contract signature by 21st August 2026 and the contract commencement by late August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs and organisations specialising in cycling training services. The primary award has been made to Cycle North, an SME based in Leeds, which highlights the opportunity for similar small to medium enterprises to engage in public contracts supporting local initiatives. This procurement reflects a commitment to advancing cycling skills and community involvement, which positions businesses offering educational and training services, particularly those aligned with public transport and recreational activities, as ideal contenders for such projects. The project's funding from the Department for Transport further underlines the UK government's endorsement of cycling and active travel, promoting an ongoing demand for skilled service providers in this sector.
