This service aims to facilitate the collection of packages from local businesses and their consolidation for onward distribution by national couriers, contributing to a low carbon transport solution. The tender is active, with submissions due by 7th September 2020. The estimated contract value is between £40,000 and £50,000, and the contract will commence on 5th October 2020, continuing for three years until 4th October 2023. This procurement falls within the transport services category and is located in the East of England. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in sustainable transport solutions, logistics, and delivery services. Companies that specialise in electric vehicle technology, especially those with experience in managing innovative transport systems, will find this procurement particularly relevant. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the service is designed to support local businesses and promote sustainable practices in line with the city's net zero carbon objectives. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council invites quotations for the provision of a new First Mile Delivery service in Cambridge City Centre, using eCargo Bikes. We are seeking a provider to establish a new "First Mile Collection" service in Cambridge, using electric cargo bikes (eCargo Bikes). The service will entail collecting packages from city centre businesses by eCargo Bike, and consolidating them at a site on the outskirts of the City for collection by national couriers for onward travel and distribution. This is a brand new enterprise, which, after the provision of the bikes themselves, would need setting up and managing with minimal input from the local authority. eCargo Bikes are an attractive, low carbon, transport solution that are having a resurgence across the UK. They offer significant benefits, including removing the need for motorised vehicles in the city centre environment, reducing congestion and emissions and contributing to improved air quality. Furthermore, in light of likely future city centre traffic restrictions, they provide an important alternative mode of transport. Replacing cars and vans with eCargo Bikes contributes to good place making, and supports the city's "net zero carbon" objectives. A first mile collection service will build upon the strong local cycling culture in Cambridge to support small city centre enterprises, and contribute to healthy lives, active travel, sustainable transport and local employment. The Authority's detailed requirements are defined in the RFQ document Specification.
