UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process concerns Kent County Council, based in Maidstone, UK, for the project titled "CN250572 Bikeability Training." This initiative falls under the Education and Training Services category and will operate specifically in the Maidstone district (Lot 5). The contract has been awarded to Physical Activity and Sports Specialist Limited and was officially announced on 13th May 2026. The procurement stage for this contract is complete, following an open procedure classified as being above the threshold. Although the process initially faced system constraints categorised as "below threshold," it remains part of the larger above-threshold CN250572 procurement. The contract commences on 1st June 2026 with an end date of 31st May 2027, and it includes a 12-month renewal option extending until 31st May 2028.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cycling training and education services, particularly those offering programmes for schools. With a gross contract value of £174,240, the Bikeability Training aims to enhance cycling and active travel among schoolchildren across Maidstone, contributing to the local agenda of increasing cycled and walked journeys. SMEs like Physical Activity and Sports Specialist Limited, which are well-equipped to deliver training according to the national Bikeability standards, will find this contract particularly beneficial for expanding their service offerings. Moreover, providers located within or near the Maidstone region or possessing expertise in school-based cycle training would likely find this tender a strategic fit for their growth plans.

Notice Information

Notice Title

CN250572 Bikeability Training

Notice Description

Bikeability is the nationally approved cycle training scheme, which is predominantly aimed at school children and offered in every local Council area across England. The delivery of this training has, for many years, been subsidised by a Dept for Transport (DfT) grant, which was allocated to local authorities and school sports partnerships (SGOs). Bikeability, along with all other DfT Active Travel investment, is now part of the Active Travel England (ATE) portfolio. ATE's long term aim is for half of all journeys to towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2030. ATE's remit, and direction, is clearly to support local councils in their active travel ambition and delivery, including training children and adults to cycle safely, and cycle more. The Bikeability Training will be delivered by registered Bikeability Trust suppliers in accordance with the national standard 'Bikeability Delivery Guide' across Kent schools. Therefore, the Council requires a multi-lot contract split across 8 districts. The lots are split into the following 8 districts: *Lot 1 - Herne Bay & Whitstable *Lot 2 - Mid Kent *Lot 3 - Canterbury *Lot 4 - Dover *Lot 5 - Maidstone *Lot 6 - Swale *Lot 7 - Gravesham *Lot 8 - West Kent Please note that the "Lot Value" specified within this notice is the total funding allocation for the contract (including all extensions). The annual funding allocation for each area has been provided within the procurement documents. Important Note: Please note that this Contract Award Notice is related solely to the provision of Lot 5 - Maidstone. This contact area was previously recorded as a non-award (referenced in the CN250572 Bikeability Training Notice published May 5th 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-041060). Therefore, this notice provides the contract award information for Lot 5 - Maidstone only. All other lots referenced in the original Contract Award Notice remain unchanged. The CN250572 Bikeability Training procurement was conducted as an above threshold open procedure. As Lot 5 - Maidstone was recorded as a non-award in the original notice, it was not available for selection within the linked notice structure on the Find a Tender service. Accordingly, this notice has been completed independently and is not linked to previous notices to enable publication of the contract award information for this lot. For the avoidance of doubt, the procedure type ("below threshold") stated within this notice reflect system constraints within the Find a Tender service. This contract forms part of the above threshold procedure as described in CN250572 Bikeability Training Notice published May 5th 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-041060).
