Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured an inclusive community cycling hub service for residents across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The service covers developing and operating a cycling facility, providing bicycles and training, and delivering community health, social support and sports-facility activities. Its intended users include disabled residents; children and adults with special educational needs; adult social-care recipients; rehabilitation patients; older people; people living with Alzheimer’s; people needing cardiac fitness support; and people requiring mental-health support. This is a public service contract focused on inclusive cycling, supported participation, wellbeing and community health rather than conventional sports provision alone. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The sole lot was evaluated entirely on quality. One bid was received, and the contract was awarded to CYCLING PROJECTS on 11 September 2026. The awarded value is £190,000 excluding VAT, or £228,000 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 30 September 2029. Extensions depend on satisfactory performance and the Council confirming funding. The award is active, with a scheduled contract-signature milestone due by 25 September 2026. The procurement is below the applicable threshold.

This award indicates demand from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for an operator able to combine inclusive cycling with community health, social support, training and sports-facility management. A credible future competitor would need to design and run accessible cycling activity for a broad range of needs, including disability, special educational needs, rehabilitation, ageing, dementia, cardiac fitness and mental-health support. Relevant capability would include safe cycle provision, qualified or suitably experienced instructors, inclusive participant support, partnership working with health and social-care services, and the operational capacity to manage a community hub. The sole bid was from an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the requirement can suit a mission-led specialist as well as a larger leisure or community-services operator.
