Active Travel Hub

The City of Doncaster Council has completed a procurement process for the "Active Travel Hub" services, focusing on delivery activities such as Bike Loans, E Bike Loans, Travel Planning, and organised walks and rides. The procurement, classified under services like Physical well-being, Travel, and Training services, was initiated through an open competition below the threshold and culminated with a contract award to Bicycle Buddy LTD. The contract is valued at £126,000 gross and is set to run from 1st January 2026 through 30th September 2026, with a potential extension up to 31st March 2027. The process, conducted in the South Yorkshire region, emphasises the role of bicycles and travel planning in active lifestyle promotion.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health, travel, and community engagement services, particularly those operating as SMEs. Given its focus on active lifestyle and travel support services, organisations that provide innovative solutions in sustainable transport and physical well-being will be well-suited to compete in similar future contracts. The City of Doncaster Council's preference for open and competitive procurement processes offers a level playing field, allowing businesses to leverage their expertise in community health and recreational services to foster growth and establish long-term partnerships with public authorities.
