The provider will manage, promote, coordinate and deliver training to schools and residents, mainly during school term time. Expected provision includes Bikeability Levels 1, 2, combined Levels 1 and 2, Level 3, Learn to Ride, and SEND/Inclusion training where funding allows. The service also covers school engagement, bookings, administration, equipment such as bikes, helmets and high-visibility clothing, performance monitoring and continuous improvement. This is a public-sector training services requirement (CPV 80500000), delivered in schools and other locations throughout the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. This procurement is at the planning and preliminary market-engagement stage: the council is seeking expressions of interest to inform a future formal procurement, not inviting tenders. The expected arrangement is a 12-month initial contract from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with four further 12-month extensions potentially taking the arrangement to 31 March 2032, subject to approval and funding. The published estimated value is £374,000 gross. Suppliers were asked to express interest by 22 September 2026 by email, using the specified subject wording. The single planned lot is identified as suitable for SMEs. The final scope, duration, specification and performance measures may change before procurement, and funding depends on annual Department for Transport allocations through the Bikeability Trust. The work will suit an established cycle-training provider able to deliver large-scale Bikeability programmes across a local authority area and build strong participation among schools. Preparation should include approved Bikeability Training Provider registration, instructors who are appropriately qualified and registered, and the capacity to meet Bikeability Trust, Active Travel England and Department for Transport requirements. Providers should be ready to demonstrate safeguarding, health and safety, data protection and quality-assurance systems, including enhanced DBS checks for instructors. The service also calls for an accessible booking system, reliable administration, school engagement, grant-funded service management, incident and complaints handling, performance reporting, and continuous improvement. Inclusive delivery experience, including training for children and young people with SEND, will be important, as will the ability to supply suitable training equipment. ## Notice Bikeability Training Service - Market Engagement Summary The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead (RBWM) is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced providers for the delivery of its Bikeability cycle training programme.
