Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council commissioned school-based cycling proficiency training across North Northamptonshire. The service covers liaising with schools, arranging bookings and delivering training to Year 5 and Year 6 pupils, as well as pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) of all ages. This is a training-services contract, with the practical focus on delivering cycling instruction to those pupil groups. The council is the buyer and the work is delivered across its area. The requirement combines school coordination with the supply of training, so it is relevant to providers able to work with schools and deliver cycling proficiency sessions to primary-age pupils and SEND learners.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to OUTSPOKEN TRAINING LLP. The award is recorded as dated 6 October 2026; the tender description says the contract was awarded on 3 September. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award value is £50,164 excluding VAT (£62,705 including VAT). The procurement was below the applicable threshold and used one lot. Its recorded procurement-method detail is “below threshold – unknown”. The available information does not state an evaluation basis or participation requirements. The work is funded by a grant from the Bikeability Trust, as described for the programme.

This award shows a demand from North Northamptonshire Council for a provider that can coordinate with schools and deliver cycling proficiency training to Year 5 and Year 6 pupils and SEND pupils across age groups. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to combine school liaison and booking arrangements with the capacity to deliver sessions across North Northamptonshire. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this service was delivered by an SME. The programme was grant-funded by the Bikeability Trust. These details indicate the relevant delivery experience and operational capability for a supplier seeking to compete if this council’s school cycling-training requirement returns to market.
