CN250572 Bikeability Training

2026-11-03

Bikeability is the nationally approved cycle training scheme, which is predominantly aimed at school children and offered in every local Council area across England. The delivery of this training has, for many years, been subsidised by a Dept for Transport (DfT) grant, which was allocated to local authorities and school sports partnerships (SGOs). Bikeability, along with all other DfT Active Travel investment, is now part of the Active Travel England (ATE) portfolio. ATE's long term aim is for half of all journeys to towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2030. ATE's remit, and direction, is clearly to support local councils in their active travel ambition and delivery, including training children and adults to cycle safely, and cycle more. The Bikeability Training will be delivered by registered Bikeability Trust suppliers in accordance with the national standard 'Bikeability Delivery Guide' across Kent schools. Therefore, the Council requires a multi-lot contract split across 8 districts. The lots are split into the following 8 districts: •Lot 1 - Herne Bay & Whitstable •Lot 2 - Mid Kent •Lot 3 - Canterbury •Lot 4 - Dover •Lot 5 - Maidstone •Lot 6 - Swale •Lot 7 - Gravesham •Lot 8 - West Kent Please note that the "Lot Value" specified within this notice is the total funding allocation for the contract (including all extensions). The annual funding allocation for each area has been provided within the procurement documents. Important Note: Please note that this Contract Award Notice is related solely to the provision of Lot 5 - Maidstone. This contact area was previously recorded as a non-award (referenced in the CN250572 Bikeability Training Notice published May 5th 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-041060). Therefore, this notice provides the contract award information for Lot 5 - Maidstone only. All other lots referenced in the original Contract Award Notice remain unchanged. The CN250572 Bikeability Training procurement was conducted as an above threshold open procedure. As Lot 5 - Maidstone was recorded as a non-award in the original notice, it was not available for selection within the linked notice structure on the Find a Tender service. Accordingly, this notice has been completed independently and is not linked to previous notices to enable publication of the contract award information for this lot. For the avoidance of doubt, the procedure type ("below threshold") stated within this notice reflect system constraints within the Find a Tender service. This contract forms part of the above threshold procedure as described in CN250572 Bikeability Training Notice published May 5th 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-041060).
