## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured a staff Cycle to Work Scheme, covering the provision of bicycles through an employee benefit arrangement. The requirement is for the council’s workforce and is delivered in the North West of England. The procurement is classified as goods, with bicycles as the specified category. The council is based in Kendal. The stated scope is the provision of the scheme; no further operational features are described.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Blackhawk Network EMEA Limited. The award date was 22 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030, a four-year period. The reported award value is £0. The council made a direct award through the ESPO Framework, Lot 2. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00 (UK time). Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part. The award information identifies a single supplier; no evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that Westmorland and Furness Council buys a staff cycle-to-work scheme through a framework-based direct award, rather than describing an open competition for this requirement. A future competitor would need to offer an employee bicycle benefit scheme and be positioned to supply it through the relevant framework route. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a smaller provider could be relevant if it can meet the scheme requirement and framework conditions. The selected supplier is a large company, but the procurement does not state particular accreditations, technical standards, capacity thresholds or prior-experience requirements. For businesses in employee benefits or cycle scheme provision, this provides evidence of a defined council requirement and the route used to secure it.
