This initiative falls under the research services category and is located in the UK, specifically targeting large-scale implementations in cities such as Enschede, Gothenburg, and Helsinki. The tender is in the planning stage, and submissions are due by 10th March 2017. The project is expected to commence on 1st May 2017 and conclude by 31st January 2018, with a budget of £80,000 provided by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations involved in transport services, particularly city and community authorities, public transport agencies, NGOs, and transnational transport providers. Businesses capable of developing and delivering innovative transport solutions and positive incentive mechanisms will find this opportunity particularly suitable. Applicants should demonstrate local support through letters of endorsement and articulate their vision for implementing the EMPOWER scheme within their area, thereby enhancing their potential for growth in the transport sector. ## Notice Interested parties are invited to submit a proposal for a Living Lab Demonstration of a Positive Incentives Scheme to Reduce the use of Conventionally Fuelled vehicles. EMPOWER is about rewarding change. We are driving research and innovation on how positive incentives can encourage citizens to reconsider their travel choices and reduce the extent to which they travel using conventionally fuelled vehicles (CFV). Living Labs in EMPOWER The EMPOWER concept and mobility services will be initially trialled in large scale 'living labs' involving members of the public in the cities of Enschede (Netherlands), Gothenburg (Sweden), Helsinki (Finland) and in the (UK). In order to deliver our ambitious roll-out plans, we wish to recruit a further living lab based in the UK to provide a further large scale real-life implementation. The Living Labs have already started in 10 cities across Europe and the EMPOWER services are mature. The UK Living Lab stakeholders will develop and deliver the actual implementation, with the help of some funding from the EMPOWER budget of up to PS80k. EMPOWER partners will assist with some of the design and training functions where helpful (for example on evaluation method) and collaborate on the provision of mobility services (as needed). We expect Living Labs to be ambitious in scale, in line with a real-life implementation rather than a research study. We anticipate they may include circa 40,000 participants each. The UK Living Lab implementations will take place from 1st May 2017 and end with final delivery on 31st Jan 2018, so that evaluation results and data will be available within the EMPOWER project timeschedule. Eligibility Any City authority, community authority or Corporate organisation with responsibility for organising or delivering transport services can apply to be an EMPOWER Living Lab. Examples include (but are not limited to) public transport authorities or agencies, NGOs working in a public service environment, transnational transport providers (e.g. road or rail) are also eligible. Whilst there is no country restriction on applicants, consideration will be given to the UK context of the Living Lab. Using this application form, applicants should submit a well elaborated case for the application of EMPOWER positive incentives schemes in their city, region or area of operation. The form should include a scanned copy of at least one Letter of Support signed by a senior local political representative/policy maker. It should also include a copy of at least one letter of support or commitment by a supplier of positive incentives, where the plan involves incentive provider(s) outside the Living Lab lead organisation. Other letters of support may also be included. Please note: this application form is only eligible when accompanied by a Letter of Support signed by a senior local political representative.
