The purchasing of bicycles under the cycle to work scheme must be in compliance with procurement regulations. My Department is currently in discussions with the Government Supplies Agency on how the proposed scheme might be put into operation and the correct procurement procedures put in place. A circular will issue once an appropriate tendering system is in place.

My Department and the agencies under the remit of my Department will address the implementation of the scheme when the relevant circular has issued.
