Description

Stevenage Borough Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of a Cycle hire scheme The Contract requires a provider with a long and successful track record in working with Local Authorities or other organisations in the UK public delivering cycle hire schemes. Stevenage expects the scheme will initially require a minimum of 220 cycles (including minimum of 50% e-bikes) for the commencement of the scheme with at least 45 docking stations. Stevenage's preference is that the bikes be predominantly physically 'docked', whether through stands, traditional physical docking infrastructure or integration with existing street furniture. The scheme will run for an initial trial period of 4 years in Stevenage with a potential to extend for a further 2 years as 2 x 1-year extensions. Depending on the success of the scheme and availability of funding, it may be extended and/or expanded into other areas of the Borough and adjoining areas. This procurement is an open process. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to 'express an interest' and also 'opt in' which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system. To be considered as a Tenderer you must complete and submit a Tender by the deadline of 12 noon on 19th November 2023 Please allow sufficient time to make your return, as Tender submissions cannot be uploaded and submitted after this return deadline. Please ensure that where possible documents are uploaded as a PDF and that file names are succinct. Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents, and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above. Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate. The use of Lots has been considered for this procurement, but have not been used, because we need a town wide solution.
