## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for the "RES/TR/Bike Servicing, Maintenance and Training Framework." This open procedure, initiated on 28 September 2023, focuses on repair and maintenance services in the UKK region. The procurement categorised into several lots includes: "Dr Bike" services for community, business, at-shop, and at-home contexts, bike maintenance training courses, servicing of public loan and eBike fleets, and eCargo bike servicing. Key stakeholders involved are Bristol City Council and regional suppliers Bike Bristol, Holy Spokes, Life Cycle & Taylored Cycles Ltd, with the contract valued at £580,000 and signed on 17 January 2024. The procurement has moved to the award stage with all essential deadlines met.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the bicycle repair and training industry. Businesses with capabilities in bike maintenance, training, and mobile servicing are well-suited to benefit. The framework is designed to engage multiple suppliers, encouraging competition and allowing businesses to secure various lots based on their expertise. By participating in this framework, businesses can expand their operational reach across several local authorities, including Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset, enhancing visibility and customer base in the region. The procurement's emphasis on price and social value ensures a balanced opportunity for both cost-effective and community-focused enterprises.

Lot 5: Servicing of Public Loan Bike Fleet (non-electric bikes only) This Lot is for the servicing and maintenance of Bristol City Council's Loan Bike Fleet. Bristol City Council provide bicycles for use by individuals that live, work or study in the region, to enable individuals to trial cycling before they purchase their own bike through the Public Loan Bike fleet. The bicycles are loaned out for a month and include necessary accessories to simplify the process, with the goal being a 'try before you buy' approach that leads to the individual purchasing their own bike separately after finishing the loan.

Renewal: 1 extension option of up to 12 months

Lot 6: Servicing of eBikes for the Business Pool and Public Loan Bike fleets (electric bikes only)

Lot 6: Servicing of eBikes for the Business Pool and Public Loan Bike fleets (electric bikes only) Servicing of Bristol's Public Loan Bike fleet as per Lot 5 description, but for electric bikes. This Lot also includes servicing of the Business Pool bikes which are all electric. Business Pool bikes are for use by businesses for on-site visits, meetings and other in-work travel, to reduce the number of journeys made by single occupancy vehicles. These bikes are loaned out for six months. Similarly, to the public loan bike fleet, the goal is then for businesses to go on to purchase a bike for this use.

Renewal: 1 extension option of up to 12 months

Lot 7: Servicing of eCargo Bikes (electric bikes only)

Lot 7: Servicing of eCargo Bikes (electric bikes only) Servicing of the eCargo bikes which are all electric. The eCargo bikes are for use by businesses on site visits, meetings and other in-work travel, to reduce the number of journeys made by single occupancy vehicles. These bikes are loaned out for up to three months. Similarly to the public loan bike fleet, the goal is then for businesses to go on to purchase a bike for this use.

Renewal: 1 extension option of up to 12 months

Lot 8: Further Competition - all suppliers

All Framework Suppliers for the relevant local authority area must be invited to quote, unless prior consultation establishes that some suppliers are unable to deliver the requirement. This Lot is for any bike-related service/supply within the general scope of this specification, that hasn't been included in the Pricing Schedule. For example this might include replacement bike purchases; multiple-lot further competitions; out of area travel; cycle skills and training outside of the Dr Bike courses; bike reconditioning; provision of spare parts/cycle safety equipment etc. A further competition is a process to re-open competition under the framework and is intended to secure formal quotations from some or all of the suppliers, tailored to their specific requirements. It also offers a way to test and demonstrate value for money. No formal response is required from suppliers bidding for a place on Lot 8. All suppliers who achieve a Rank 1-3 place for any Lot will be included. The buyer will issue their own further competition tender documents describing the requirements and detailing the evaluation criteria and weightings that will be used. Scored quality questions can be asked at this stage if required, as can Social Value questions, which may be specific to the geographical area procuring. The largest portion of marks must remain as Price, in keeping with the overarching Framework Agreement.

Renewal: 1 extension option of up to 12 months
