## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council has concluded a public procurement process titled "CBC-1860-T-TH Cycle Hire Scheme - AWARD" aimed at implementing a cycle hire scheme across four towns. This contract has been awarded at the procurement stage with a status of completion and falls under the industry category of services, specifically related to bicycles and accessories (CPV: 34430000, 34432000, 34431000). The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract, valued at GBP 78,000, was awarded to Active Cycling Projects Ltd. The contract period spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, and the cycle hire scheme involves maintaining a fleet of up to 100 bicycles across various locations, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and British Oversea Territories.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the bicycle manufacturing, maintenance, and accessories industry. It is particularly suited for companies with expertise in managing transport solutions and infrastructure projects. The open procurement method encourages broad participation, allowing businesses with innovative and efficient solutions to contribute to sustainable urban mobility. However, it's noted that the procurement does not specifically accommodate SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger or more established firms might be better positioned to tender. The successful bidder, Active Cycling Projects Ltd, will need to supply pedal bicycles and ensure their ongoing availability and functionality in the designated regions.
