Decision details

Contract Award Decision for the roll out of residential cycle hangars.

Reasons for urgency.

An existing Framework exists that allows the Council to procure cycle hangars, however this is ending on the 1st January 2024, therefore there are challenging timelines to work towards in order to follow the necessary steps to access this framework.

To approve the recommended procurement strategy, to run a mini competition on the Waltham Forest Framework for the provision of up to 500 new cycle hangars over a 3-year period from 2024 to 2027, for the total contract value of £3m.

The reason for the decision is to meet considerable demand from H&F residents for secure, dry, clean roadside cycle storage.  In making its decision, H&F has followed the criteria in the Framework. In mitigating the climate and ecological emergency H&F wants to work with providers who are actively seeking to minimise their carbon footprint from manufacturing decisions to delivery and installation of goods.

Procuring through the Waltham Forest Framework and running a mini competition between the only two suppliers on the framework, Cyclehoop and Falco.  

The Waltham Forest Framework is a compliant route that has been used by a number of boroughs across London to successfully roll out large numbers of cycle hangar provision, to meet significant resident demand in a timely fashion.   The key benefit to using the Framework is ease of procurement through an existing, trusted channel.
