The procurement falls under the motor vehicles industry category, with additional classifications in taxi services and environmental training. The open procedure tender period concluded on 27th January 2021, and the contract period is set from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2023. The total contract value is estimated at £750,000, including the costs for storing, licensing, and maintaining up to 11 electric hackney carriages and associated services. The project is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the transportation and environmental sectors, especially those focusing on electric vehicle operations and maintenance. Companies that specialise in vehicle leasing, electric vehicle technologies, and driver education for sustainable practices would be particularly well-suited to compete. The involvement of SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises is encouraged, highlighting the potential for local businesses to engage in this innovative initiative aimed at promoting electric vehicle uptake among taxi drivers in Sheffield. ## Notice 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f30b9b-e2ec-49f7-8bef-651c57f2b127 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Apr 2021 | | Contract period | 2 May 2021 - 1 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £650,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SHERBET LONDON TAXIS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 60 - Transport services (excl.
