Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured a comprehensive Bikeability cycle training programme for adults, young people and families in Sheffield. The service is intended to help more people cycle safely, confidently and regularly, through training delivered by qualified instructors in line with the National Standard for cycle training. The programme covers three levels: basic cycle handling, riding on quiet roads and riding in complex traffic. It is an education and training service, classified under CPV 80000000. The training is funded by the Department for Transport and managed through The Bikeability Trust. Sheffield City Council is the buying organisation, and delivery is focused on Sheffield rather than on supplying physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. One valid bid was received and Cycle Leeds Limited, trading as Cycle North, was selected on 3 August 2026. The award and contract value is £328,522 excluding VAT (£394,226 including VAT). The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027, with three possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 23 August 2030. There was one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation gave price a 20% weighting and quality an 80% weighting. English-language electronic submissions were allowed, with the tender deadline on 14 July 2026.

This award shows a defined requirement for a specialist cycle-training provider able to deliver a structured public programme for adults, young people and families. Credible competitors would need qualified instructors, practical experience of teaching cycling skills, confidence and road safety, and the ability to deliver all three National Standard levels: basic handling, quiet roads and complex traffic. They would also need to manage delivery across Sheffield and demonstrate a strong quality-led service, since quality carried substantially more weight than price in the evaluation. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Organisations with established Bikeability delivery capability, suitable instructor capacity and experience working with public-sector or community programmes would be well placed when this requirement returns.
