Changes to the Cycle to Work scheme
Following the latest government advice to avoid public transport where possible, we wanted to remind you of one our employee benefits available all year round. With the weather getting warmer, perfect for our advised daily exercise, our Cycle to Work scheme provides a fantastic alternative way to travel.
The Cycle to Work scheme is available through Choices where you can search participating shops for bikes to hire and safety accessories. Once the full cost is totalled, enter the amount in the Choices selection portal in Employee Self Service. You will benefit from Tax and National Insurance savings on your new bike hire.
Since receiving and listening to your feedback, we have reviewed the scheme and increased the limit to £3,000. This change will now give you access to hire electric bikes too.
Under the terms of the scheme you must use your bike to cycle to work at least 50% of the time, however you are also able to use it for social purposes.
For more information on the scheme and how to find participating bike stores, please visit: www.Cyclescheme.co.uk.
Visit our education hub
We've created this Education Hub to provide free access to a range of inclusive activities and resources that we hope will bring some fun in to the home as well as educate, engage and inspire our young people, from designing a railway route and building structures to learning more about the environment.
All the activities aim to give a taste of the diverse careers that are available at Amey and within our sectors, and in particular with regards to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects. Click here to visit.

Where a signatory cannot print, sign and scan their signature on any contract or agreement then, subject to the terms of this policy, an electronic signature may be used for contracts and other forms of agreements (except for deeds).
In most other respects this policy remains unchanged including – for example, the signatory’s knowledge and consent being sought prior to application of their electronic signature and the procedure set out below
