Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision and operation of an eBike hire scheme in Aberdeen, focusing on public road transport services. The project aimed to introduce a fleet of no less than 200 eBikes, aligned with the UK's standards for electrically assisted pedal cycles. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure under the legal framework provided by CELEX 32014L0024. The awarding phase concluded with a contract signed on 16th December 2025 and is now active with an awarded value of £200,000. Voi Technology, renowned for its expertise in micromobility solutions, emerged as the primary supplier, with support from a subcontractor for vehicle redistribution and battery swaps. The operations are scheduled to continue through a fixed term with potential for extensions, prioritising quality and price as the award criteria, and significant dates included the commencement of the standstill period and eventual contract launch, culminating in the scheme's go-live in March 2026.

This tender creates considerable opportunities for service providers specialised in sustainable transport solutions and those adept at managing large-scale public hire programmes. Voi Technology’s involvement signifies a robust capacity for such operations, presenting opportunities for companies with expertise in public bike hire schemes, logistics, and support services to engage in potential subcontracting roles. Businesses capable of fulfilling technical requirements for infrastructure deployment and operational capability stand to benefit, contributing to job creation and local economic development. The contract's focus on community benefits like job creation related to the project and local SME engagement ensures wider participation, fostering growth for businesses agile enough to deliver comprehensive transport services, comply with rigorous insurance standards, and innovate in sustainable urban mobility.
