RES/TR/Bike Servicing, Maintenance and Training Framework

We are looking to establish a framework agreement with multiple suppliers to deliver various bicycle maintenance services in several local authority areas in the West of England. Services will include;\r

\r

• The provision of a 'Dr Bike' service - pop-up stations for members of the public to get their bike serviced and safety checked. These are delivered within the community and on site at companies for their employees and provide mobile Dr Bikes that can be serviced at home or workplace\r

• The delivery of bike maintenance training courses\r

• The maintenance and servicing of Council-owned loan and pool bikes and ecargo bikes\r

\r

The above services may be required for both manual and electronic bikes.\r

\r

The local authorities that plan to use this framework are:\r

\r

• Bristol City Council\r

• Bath and North East Somerset Council\r

• South Gloucestershire Council\r

• North Somerset Council\r

\r

Suppliers can bid for one or more 'Lots' (type of service/bike) across one or more geographical areas. We anticipate having at least one supplier, and up to a maximum of 3 suppliers, for every Lot/area. Call-off contracts will be established using a ranking system, with the ability to direct award contracts to the highest scoring supplier for each Lot/area.\r

\r

Where additional bike-related services are required that are not included in the set Lots, mini competitions can be run across all suppliers to establish a call-off contract.
