Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is procuring branded electric bicycles and associated accessories for The People’s Network. The requirement includes GPS tracking and delivery to a specified location in South Yorkshire, covering the supply of electric vehicles and bicycles. The procurement is for goods and is intended to support a single-supplier framework from which the authority can place orders as required. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide complete e-bike packages rather than bicycles alone, including compatible accessories, tracking equipment and delivery arrangements. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist mobility suppliers with established e-bike supply chains and the operational capability to deliver to South Yorkshire. The authority is based in Sheffield.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must be submitted electronically via ProContract by 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries must be submitted by 7 September 2026 at 17:00. The evaluation is scheduled to conclude by 7 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2030, with a renewal option and a stated maximum extent of 31 March 2030. The four-year, closed framework is for a single supplier, with call-offs made without reopening competition. Its anticipated value is up to £2,000,000, including gross value of £2,400,000. The first-year order covers 275 e-bikes and accessories and is expected not to exceed £520,000. Evaluation is price 50%, quality 40% and social value 10%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as well as established e-bike manufacturers, distributors and specialist fleet suppliers. Bidders need relevant experience and contract examples, with sufficient supply, configuration, GPS-tracking, logistics and delivery capacity to support a multi-year public-sector framework and substantial initial order. Minimum insurance requirements are £5,000,000 employer’s liability, £10,000,000 public liability, £10,000,000 product liability and £2,000,000 professional indemnity. Suppliers must hold Cyber Essentials Plus or an equivalent or higher recognised cyber-security standard, such as ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO 9001 or an equivalent internationally recognised quality-management standard. Products must comply with BS EN 15194:2017+A1:2023 and BS EN 1078:2012+A1:2012. Bidders must also meet health and safety, equality, modern slavery and data-protection obligations.
