7a7509f9-401e-4867-9997-45bc75e357a5-780594The Council is seeking one provider to deliver the Bikeability programme to schools in West Northamptonshire. Bikeability is 'cycling proficiency' for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. It is a national scheme, funded by the Department for Transport and run to national standards. There are three Bikeability levels, with each level designed to help improve children's cycling skills, no matter what they know already. The three Levels take trainees on a journey from the basics of balance and control, all the way through to planning and making a journey by themselves on busier roads. Children will typically start Bikeability lessons once they have learnt to ride a bike: • Level 1 will help new riders to control their bikes. • Level 2 will help develop on-road skills and is usually tackled by children in Years 5 or 6, before leaving primary school • Level 3 teaches trainees how to ride in different and more challenging traffic situations and is usually completed by children of secondary school age Bikeability Plus complements and supports Bikeability at Levels 1, 2 and 3. Bikeability Plus modules aim to increase the take up and impact of Bikeability on children's cycling. Bikeability and Bikeability Plus are underpinned by the National Standard. Bikeability Grant Funding allows the training to be delivered to all areas of the West Northamptonshire Council area. Cycle training in the whole of Northamptonshire is currently outsourced to a single contractor and is delivered via the Government's Bikeability scheme. The grant funding is made up of two parts: core funding & plus funding. Our core funding for 2024/2025 (02/9/24 - 31/3/25) is £132,297 for Levels 1, 2 + 3 and Plus funding is £2872 for Balance, Learn to Rise and Fix - total £135,169. The annual funding for subsequent years will be determined by the grant allocated by DfT. West Northamptonshire Council offers Bikeability to all schools within the West Northamptonshire Council boundaries, including independents and youth groups (cubs, scouts, brownies, guides, etc.). Variant bids are not offered. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) may apply to this opportunity. The contract start date will be 02/09/2024 for an initial period of 7 months with the option to extend for 12 months and then again for a further 12 months making 31 months in total. This is subject to funding from DfT.
