Summary of the contracting process

The City of Doncaster Council is seeking a provider to deliver cycling training as part of its Ride Strive & Thrive pilot. The service is to be delivered at locations around Doncaster, within South Yorkshire. This is a community-focused training and recreation service, rather than a purchase of cycling equipment or construction work. The requirement is presented as one lot, covering the cycling training service. The council is the buyer, and the work is intended to support the pilot across its local delivery locations.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 15 October 2026 at 16:00 and a submission deadline of 30 October 2026 at 17:00. The stated contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 8 November 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions. The estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£175,000 including VAT). This is a single-lot procurement. Bids are evaluated on quality, including social value, weighted at 60%, and cost, weighted at 40%.

The opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises; participation is reserved for those supplier types in South Yorkshire. It will interest providers able to deliver cycling training across locations around Doncaster and to address the council’s pilot requirement. The quality-led evaluation, including a social-value element, makes relevant training delivery capability and an ability to demonstrate community benefit important areas for bidders to address. The contract’s multi-year structure, with possible extensions, may suit providers able to sustain delivery over a continuing programme. The procurement information does not set out specific training qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or prior-experience thresholds.
