CN250572 Bikeability Training · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Kent County Council (Local council)
What is being bought8 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionBikeability 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
