Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed here is being led by Oxfordshire County Council for a project titled "Micro Mobility 2026," aiming to secure contracts for e-scooter and e-bike hire in Oxford. This process is currently in the planning stage, with an open procedure intended for procurement. Notably, the tender anticipates participation from various regions across the United Kingdom (UKJ14 being a primary region). The buyer, a public authority under sub-central government classification, has announced the tender with key deadlines: the tender period closes on 14th April 2026, with the award period concluding on 9th June 2026. The planned contract commencement date is 1st September 2026, lasting until 31st May 2028. The contract is divided into two lots, one for e-scooters and another for e-bikes.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in road transport services, particularly those focusing on innovative mobility solutions like e-scooters and e-bikes. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically encouraged to engage, given the contract's suitability focus. The open procurement method ensures fair competition, offering a promising avenue for businesses aiming to expand their footprint within the UK's sustainable transport sector. Collaboration with the Department for Transport's national e-scooter trials further underscores the potential for growth in alignment with governmental transport initiatives.
