## Summary

Lancashire County Council intends to procure providers to deliver an Adult Cycle Programme across Lancashire. The service will comprise adult cycling activities and interventions, divided into lots covering districts. It supports the council’s aims to improve health and wellbeing, encourage active lifestyles and active travel, reduce health inequalities and contribute to environmental sustainability. The work is a combination of cycling-related training and sporting services. Delivery is across Lancashire, including the county’s districts.

This is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish the tender notice on 9 November 2026. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with a possible extension to 30 March 2031. The procurement is divided into lots by district. The estimated value is above the applicable threshold, but no amount is stated. A market-awareness stage is planned, with interested organisations encouraged to register on the council’s e-tendering portal and able to register interest by email to receive notification of the tender notice. No evaluation basis or detailed participation requirements are set out at this stage.

The work is suited to providers able to design and deliver cycling activities and interventions for adults across local districts. Suppliers with experience in adult cycling, sports provision or relevant training services are likely to be well placed to prepare, particularly those able to organise delivery across multiple local areas and support participation in active travel. The programme links delivery to health and wellbeing, reducing health inequalities and environmental sustainability, so providers able to align their activities with these outcomes should consider the fit. The council has not yet set out technical standards, accreditations or capacity thresholds; interested organisations can use the planning period to monitor the forthcoming procurement and prepare for a district-based lot structure.
