Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council procured education and training services for Bikeability Core Training and Learn to Ride Training. The work covers delivery of cycling training programmes for learners in Oldham and the surrounding area represented by the council’s delivery region. The requirement is a single service covering both core cycling skills and learn-to-ride instruction. It is relevant to organisations that provide structured cycle training, learner instruction, road-safety education or related community and school-based training services. The council is the public-sector buyer and the selected provider is Nationwide Cycling Academy Limited, an SME based in Radcliffe. The requirement may suit specialist cycling academies, training providers and organisations able to deliver consistent practical instruction across the council’s area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through an open procedure. Four bids were received, with three reaching the final stage. The award was made to Nationwide Cycling Academy Limited on 25 August 2026. The awarded value is £228,064.17 excluding VAT, or £273,677 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2029. The tender had a submission deadline of 24 June 2026 at 12:00, and the award period ended on 1 August 2026. Quality accounted for 90% of the evaluation and social value for 10%. The lot was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. English was the permitted submission language, and electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates established council demand for specialist cycling education delivered as a combined Bikeability and Learn to Ride service. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in cycle training, the ability to teach learners with different levels of confidence and experience, and systems for delivering structured sessions consistently. Providers should be able to evidence high-quality training delivery, reliable staffing and operational capacity across the council’s area. The evaluation placed substantial emphasis on service quality, so clear teaching methods, safeguarding arrangements, instructor competence, quality assurance and performance management would be important. The social-value element also means suppliers should be prepared to show how delivery benefits the local community. The successful provider’s SME status indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor.
