Notice Information

Notice Title

Sheffield Electric Hackney Carriage Trial

Notice Description

Sheffield City Council (SCC) has received Early Measures Funding (EMF) from Government to deliver an Electric Hackney Carriage Trial in Sheffield that will provide taxi Drivers the opportunity to experience driving an electric hackney carriage on a 'real world' basis, assisting Drivers in understanding the potential operational issues and benefits. SCC are seeking a Provider to operate a taxi trial Scheme which loans, on a short-term basis, electric hackney carriages to hackney carriage Drivers registered within Sheffield. SCC wish to procure a Provider to deliver all elements of the Scheme, including: * The storage, licencing, and maintenance of up to 11 electric Hackney Carriage taxis ('Trial Vehicles') with associated telematics. * End to end management of the vehicle hire process and the provision of education and support to Drivers to encourage electric vehicle take up. Sheffield City Council's intention is to purchase and own the electric hackney vehicles to be used in the trial, with the Provider operating and maintaining them for the trial duration. Alternatively, SCC may, within the scope of the awarded contract, request that the Provider carry out the initial purchase of the Trial Vehicles on its behalf. Title in the Vehicles would remain with SCC in either scenario. Given that SCC reserves the option to request that the Provider purchases the trial vehicles on SCC's behalf, the total advertised contract value includes the estimated capital costs of the trial vehicles (up to 11 ULEV Hackneys) themselves, in addition to the revenue costs for delivery of the Scheme by the Provider.
