In plain English
The buyer wants a supplier to run support activities for existing bike buses (group cycle rides that take children to school together) in Deeside and Donside, so they stay running and attract more families. The work includes engaging the Braemar Primary School community and doing preparatory work towards a new bike bus there, plus organising training to help more people become cycle ride leaders. The activities should be able to continue without funding after October 2028.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver a programme of activities that strengthens the existing bike buses, widens participation and builds family cycling communities in Deeside and Donside • Engage the Braemar Primary School community and carry out preparatory work towards setting up a bike bus there, if capacity allows • Organise Cycle Ride Leader Training so more people can get involved in the bike buses
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit qualification, certification, insurance or experience requirement, so nothing in it clearly rules out a small business, although the work requires community engagement and delivery of cycle ride leader training, and the contract may be extended if extra funding is found.
Always check the tender documents.
