## About this tender

The Cairngorms National Park Authority would like to secure a contract to deliver led ride and cycle skills programmes in Badenoch and Strathspey. This fits into wider work aiming to change behaviour towards more active and sustainable travel. A lack of confidence with cycling can be a barrier to active travel which is the reason for offering these activities.

Initially between April and July, we anticipate working with primary school children and their parents / carers at Aviemore, Deshar and / or Abernethy Primary School, as well as the wider communities of Aviemore, Boat of Garten and Nethy Bridge.

We are in conversation with these schools about facilitating weekly organised rides to and from school known as ‘bike buses’ and / or cycle skills sessions for pupils to complement the Bikeability programme.

This contract will also deliver programmes of rides or cycle skills sessions for adults. We would like to offer parents and carers opportunities to build their cycle confidence. Additionally, we want to offer programmes of led rides starting from village centres which are open to all, aimed at those who wish to build their confidence to cycle to get around.

There is scope for the successful bidder to input to finalising the delivery plan.

From July onwards we expect to offer similar activities to other communities in Badenoch and Strathspey as well as continuing to work with the Aviemore, Boat of Garten and Nethy Bridge communities where necessary.

Whilst we have funding to get activities started, we don’t anticipate having public funding for long-term delivery and therefore our aspiration is to support and train a network of volunteers to take on future delivery. We would like successful providers to support this by encouraging potential volunteers to join and assist with the rides and play a role in supporting the transition of the activities towards being led by volunteers. We will be organising training opportunities for volunteers. If you have the qualifications to deliver training, we would be interested to know.
