## Summary

West Midlands Combined Authority, through Transport for West Midlands, appointed a supplier to deliver Dr Bike sessions as part of its Cycling and Walking Programme. The work covers bicycle maintenance and safety support for pupils at schools taking part in Bikeability training, plus some additional sessions for residents in the wider West Midlands community. It is a single-supplier service requirement, classified under safety training services. Delivery is across the West Midlands; the named schools and community locations are not listed in the procurement data. The programme links practical cycling support with school-based cycle training and provides additional access for local residents.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected: The Active Wellbeing Society. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 31 March 2027 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £58,656.90 excluding VAT (£70,388.28 including VAT). The procurement used a below-threshold limited competition and was divided into one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. This is the recorded outcome of the process; no award cancellation or contract termination is reported. The contract period is recorded as a single date, rather than a longer stated duration.

The award shows that West Midlands Combined Authority buys practical bicycle support alongside Bikeability training, with school sessions complemented by some community provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver maintenance and safety sessions in a school setting and work with pupils participating in cycle training, while also reaching residents across the West Midlands. The selected organisation is a small and medium-sized voluntary, community or social enterprise, demonstrating that this type of provider can deliver the service. Suppliers with the capacity to coordinate a single service across schools and community venues, and experience engaging both young people and local residents, would be well placed to compete when this buyer next procures the requirement.

## Notice

Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) as part of West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) wishes to appoint a single Supplier for Cycling and Walking Programme Activity, where suppliers will deliver Dr Bikes to schools taking part in Bikeability training, with some additional sessions within the wider community for residents of the West Midlands.
