## Summary

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme for its employees. The requirement covers the supply of bicycles, bicycle helmets, safety equipment and related sundries that employees can purchase through the scheme. It is intended to support employee access to cycling equipment rather than to provide cycling infrastructure or transport operations. Delivery and scheme activity are centred on WMFS Headquarters, 99 Vauxhall Road, Nechells, Birmingham, B7 4HW. The buyer is a regional public authority, and the requirement sits within employee benefits and cycle equipment supply. Suppliers with a retail, fulfilment or salary-sacrifice platform capable of providing bicycles and associated safety products to an organisation’s employees would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement has reached completion. The buyer used a limited procedure and made a direct award without publishing a competition, under the ESPO Staff Benefits Framework 319_23, Lot 2. The evaluation basis was price. One bid was recorded, with valid bid values ranging from £275,000 to £315,000. The individual award value is not stated. The award is active and names Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Ltd as supplier. The related contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and is titled for the 2026–2030 scheme. The single tender lot is recorded as cancelled, despite the active award and contract. The lot included an option for a two-year award with two possible one-year extensions.

This outcome confirms demand from West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority for an employee cycle-to-work scheme covering both bicycles and associated safety equipment. A credible future competitor would need to combine access to a broad range of cycles, helmets and sundries with the operational capability to administer salary-sacrifice purchases for employees. Relevant strengths would include an established employee benefits or cycle-to-work platform, reliable order fulfilment, supplier and retailer relationships, and the capacity to manage purchases up to the scheme’s per-employee limit. The procurement was handled through the ESPO Staff Benefits Framework, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to understand framework-based direct awards and compete on price when this buyer’s requirement returns to market.
