## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council commissioned cycling proficiency training for school pupils through the Bikeability programme. The provider is to liaise with schools, arrange bookings and deliver training to Year 5 and Year 6 pupils, as well as pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) of all ages. The work covers schools across North Northamptonshire. The requirement is a practical school-based training service, combining coordination with schools and delivery of cycle skills instruction. It is funded by the Bikeability Trust. The stated delivery area is North Northamptonshire; no more specific locality is identified.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Outspoken Training LLP. The council used a direct award below the procurement threshold without competition. The award date was 3 September 2026; the contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated award value is £50,164 excluding VAT (£62,705 including VAT). The procurement was organised as one lot, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The requirement was evaluated through a non-competitive route; no separate evaluation criteria are stated. The contract covers coordinating with schools and providing cycling proficiency training to Year 5 and Year 6 pupils and SEND pupils of all ages throughout North Northamptonshire.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from North Northamptonshire Council, the relevant capability is delivering cycling proficiency training in a school setting and coordinating bookings and delivery with multiple schools. Credibility depends on being able to serve both Year 5 and Year 6 pupils and SEND learners across a broad age range, with training that can accommodate differing needs. The council’s use of a direct award without competition means this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation model or specific scored criteria. Small businesses were considered suitable for the single-lot requirement, indicating that this scale of school training service need not necessarily depend on a large provider. The contract provides evidence of a local authority requirement for practical cycle training linked to the Bikeability programme.
