Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Cycle2Work Scheme" was managed by Karbon Homes, a body governed by public law, situated in Newcastle. The procurement focused on providing a Cycle to Work scheme as part of staff benefits, classified under miscellaneous business-related services. The contract, valued at £40,000, was awarded to HALFORDS LIMITED and signed on 9th June 2026. It covered services in locations within the UKC and UKE regions. This process involved a direct award without prior publication as per the ESPO framework, following a limited procurement method. Notably, the procurement lot was initially cancelled, but despite this, the supplier was chosen through a direct award process, with the contract status later updated to active.

This procurement presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in employee benefits and service provision. Participation in similar tenders could provide opportunities for businesses that offer efficient, scalable solutions to enhance organisational staff welfare programmes. Companies with experience in the UK services sector, particularly those capable of delivering within specified regions and under frameworks like ESPO, are well-positioned to compete in such tailored, direct award procurement processes.
