Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council commissioned a cycling maintenance, repair and refurbishment programme for schools, community settings and market towns across Cambridgeshire. The service combines practical bicycle repair with participation and training activity: school-based workshops, family and community sessions, adult maintenance sessions, and a bike rescue and refurbishment scheme. Its purpose is to increase cycling, build confidence and reduce barriers to participation. Delivery must be inclusive and accessible. This is a public-service opportunity for organisations able to combine bicycle maintenance with education, community engagement and practical support for residents. The procurement covers repair and maintenance services, school services, specialist training, and community-focused services, rather than a supply-only bicycle or parts contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 August 2026 following a below-threshold open competition. One bid was received and one was taken through the final stage. EMC Bicycle Repairs and Maintenance was selected for the single lot. The award and contract value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. It may be extended for up to two further seven-month periods, subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance, with a maximum end date of 31 May 2028. Evaluation was split equally between quality and price, each weighted at 50%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award shows that Cambridgeshire County Council buys an integrated cycling service rather than isolated workshop or repair activity. A credible future competitor would need practical bicycle repair, maintenance and refurbishment capability, together with the ability to run sessions for pupils, families, community groups and adults. It would also need to manage a bike rescue and refurbishment scheme and work across schools, community settings and market towns. Evidence of inclusive, accessible delivery would be important, including an ability to support people who face barriers to cycling and to build user confidence. The opportunity is suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, but delivery requires sufficient reach and coordination to provide all elements as one programme.
