Tender: Cambridge Micromobility Concession – E‑Scooter and E‑Bike Service (18‑Month Trial with Extension to 5 Years)

About

The Authority is seeking a supplier for a concession to provide, operate and manage a micromobility service of e-scooters and e-bikes in Cambridge, some immediately adjoining settlements and potentially the wider Combined Authority area for an initial 18 months with an option to extend by up to a further 3.5 years (maximum 5 years). The Concessionaire will be responsible for provision, operation and management and will assume operational and demand risk; the Authority will not guarantee demand, revenue or provide financial subsidy, so the Concessionaire must generate revenue directly from users and bear underperformance risk. The contract includes requirements covering micromobility service operations, payment considerations, TUPE, novation/warranties, GDPR and insurance requirements; appointment will be based on the supplier's expertise, resources and approach and the Quality Questions in Document C will become contractual obligations, with the contract signed under hand.
