The contract focuses on providing nationally approved cycle training aimed primarily at school children, with an emphasis on promoting active travel. Lot 5 of this multi-lot contract, covering Maidstone, has been awarded to Physical Activity and Sports Specialist Limited, an SME from Oxford. The contract is currently in the Award stage and is scheduled to begin on 26th June 2026, ending on 25th July 2027, with a potential extension until 31st May 2028. The training falls under education and training services and aligns with the Department for Transport's Active Travel England initiative. The procurement method used was a below threshold open procedure, though it forms part of an above threshold process. This contract creates growth opportunities for businesses focused on education and training services, particularly those experienced in delivering cycle safety training. SMEs, such as Physical Activity and Sports Specialist Limited, can leverage their expertise and capacity for local engagement to meet the specific needs outlined by Kent County Council. Companies with a background in public sector services and those invested in promoting active travel or sustainable transportation initiatives will find this contract particularly relevant. The allocation of work across different districts in Kent also allows for multiple tendering opportunities, providing a robust growth pathway for businesses in the region. ## Notice Bikeability is the nationally approved cycle training scheme, which is predominantly aimed at school children and offered in every local Council area across England. The delivery of this training has, for many years, been subsidised by a Dept for Transport (DfT) grant, which was allocated to local authorities and school sports partnerships (SGOs). Bikeability, along with all other DfT Active Travel investment, is now part of the Active Travel England (ATE) portfolio. ATE's long term aim is for half of all journeys to towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2030. ATE's remit, and direction, is clearly to support local councils in their active travel ambition and delivery, including training children and adults to cycle safely, and cycle more. The Bikeability Training will be delivered by registered Bikeability Trust suppliers in accordance with the national standard 'Bikeability Delivery Guide' across Kent schools. Therefore, the Council requires a multi-lot contract split across 8 districts. The lots are split into the following 8 districts: *Lot 1 - Herne Bay & Whitstable *Lot 2 - Mid Kent *Lot 3 - Canterbury *Lot 4 - Dover *Lot 5 - Maidstone *Lot 6 - Swale *Lot 7 - Gravesham *Lot 8 - West Kent Please note that the "Lot Value" specified within this notice is the total funding allocation for the contract (including all extensions). The annual funding allocation for each area has been provided within the procurement documents. Important Note: Please note that this Contract Details Notice is related solely to the provision of Lot 5 - Maidstone. This contact area was previously recorded as a non-award (referenced in the CN250572 Bikeability Training Notice published May 5th 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-041060). Therefore, this contract details notice provides the contract details information for Lot 5 - Maidstone only. All other lots referenced in the original Contract Details Notice remain unchanged. The CN250572 Bikeability Training procurement was conducted as an above threshold open procedure. As Lot 5 - Maidstone was recorded as a non-award in the original Contract Award Notice, it was not available for selection within the linked notice structure on the Find a Tender service. For the avoidance of doubt, the procedure type ("below threshold") stated within this notice reflect system constraints within the Find a Tender service.
