2.    Employee visits one of our partner shops (Doctor Scooter in this case) to make their selection and obtain a written quotation.
3.    Employee registers online with Bike2Work or Cycle2Work Scheme using the employer PIN and then logs in to submit their quotation, they will then be asked to agree to the Hire Agreement.
4.    The employer will receive notification that a quote has been submitted and they need to log in and approve the quotation.
5.    An e-mail will be sent to the employee to advise if their quote has been approved/declined.
