Provision of a Vehicle Sharing system at the University of Warwick

Notice Description

Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is looking to procure a suitable provider to develop a vehicle sharing system at the University of Warwick. Vehicle journey sharing is defined as: The ability for non-affiliated individuals to easily share a journey in a privately-owned vehicle. Verification that journey has been shared may be necessary by a third party if such journeys are being incentivised. Trialling this technology developed by the successful supplier is seen as the best mechanism to test its long-term viability.

In anticipation of a significant upshift in visitors and local traffic investments we now have the potential to shape the transport eco-system for years to come. A single specialist provider is required to provide the system for TfWM over a contract period of one year commencing in mid-September 2021 with the option to extend for an additional six months until mid-March 2023.
