Tender description

The RideLondon annual event provides a lasting legacy of the Olympic games and inspires people of all ages and from all backgrounds to get active, stay healthy and have fun cycling. Since the inaugural event in 2013, RideLondon’s success has culminated its official classification as the world’s largest festival of cycling. The contract with our existing delivery partner ends after the RideLondon 2020 event. We are now exploring opportunities to partner with an events company to develop the next chapter of the RideLondon story, to build on the successes to date and broaden the appeal of the event to even more people. The Mayor of London wants RideLondon to continue to be the world's greatest celebration of cycling, engaging the full range of London's diverse communities; and inspiring more Londoners to start cycling in their daily lives. We are providing advance notice of the procurement of a new delivery partner agreement, through the issuance of this Prior Information Notice. Transport for London's forthcoming procurement of a new delivery partner will be based around their ability to deliver key strategic objectives for the RideLondon event in 2021 and beyond. The format of the event is not fixed. However, it must include elements of mass participation and elite sport. We do not want to be overly prescriptive of the detailed requirements of the event at this stage, as this could constrain ideas and opportunities. Instead, we would welcome responses to this PIN setting out high level proposals based on delivering our key strategic objectives, which are set out in the attachment to this PIN.
