## Summary

Cambridge City Council is procuring the fabrication and installation of communal bicycle stores with green roofs in Cambridge. The stores are intended to remove bicycles from communal walkways and stairs, supporting faster evacuation in the event of fire and reducing trip and fall risks caused by bikes protruding into pedestrian routes. The requirement covers the physical manufacture, assembly and erection of prefabricated structures, including urban furniture and shelter elements. Installations will be distributed across the city’s North and South areas, with the work expected to remain within a radius of five miles. This is a works contract for a supplier able to provide both fabricated bike-store structures and their on-site installation.

The procurement has reached tender: Cambridge City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The single lot has a contract period from 2 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The published total estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT. The lot record also gives the same amounts with AED as the currency. Evaluation is based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Electronic submission is allowed, with the procurement documents and submissions handled through the council’s online tendering system.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, fabricators, modular-structure specialists, shelter suppliers and installation contractors able to deliver communal bicycle stores as a combined supply-and-installation service. Relevant capability includes designing or adapting practical bike-store structures, fabricating durable units, incorporating green roofs and assembling prefabricated structures safely on site. Suppliers should be able to coordinate installations across Cambridge’s North and South areas and work at multiple communal locations within the stated local delivery radius. Experience of urban furniture, shelters, external structures or similar site-based installations would be directly relevant. The requirement also favours businesses able to respond to user feedback and develop improved designs, since the council describes the green-roof stores as an evolution from prototype units and earlier customer learning.

## Notice

Cambridge City Council has undertaken a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) this has identified the need to place bike stores in communal locations. This is to free up walkways from bikes to enable quick evacuation from buildings in the case of a fire. There is also a risk from trip and falls adjacent walkway due to the bikes protruding onto walkways/stairs. This contract is for fabrication and installation of bike stores. This has been an evolution of design and there has been a positive response to new prototype bike stores with green roofs. It is hoped that this learning and feedback process will see an evolution of better designs for our customers. Installation of the new stores will be within the City of Cambridge which is split into North and South areas it is not envisaged that there will be a greater radius than 5 miles for this project.
