Lockit-safe was awarded a four-year framework contract by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to deliver secure cycle and scooter parking for schools across the region. Covering the local authority areas of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield, the project supports active travel initiatives by equipping schools with high-quality cycle storage solutions. The first phase, completed in late 2024, included installations at 30 schools, with a second phase scheduled for March–April 2025 to reach an additional 40 schools.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Each installation was scheduled in one-week blocks, demanding close coordination with individual schools to ensure smooth delivery and setup. Lockit-safe produced strict delivery schedules and maintained constant communication to avoid any disruption to the school day.

Typical of school-based projects, installations had to be carefully managed around peak times, with working areas safely fenced off to ensure pupil safety. Our team’s experience in live school environments, paired with DBS-checked staff and robust health and safety procedures, ensured that each installation was delivered safely, efficiently, and without interruption to learning.
