## Summary

The procurement process is led by Transport for London (TfL) for the trial of electric scooters (E-Scooters) in London, classified under the transport equipment industry category. This tender, titled "tfl_scp_002092_Electric_Scooters_(E-Scooters)_Trial_in_London," is at the award stage and has a contract period commencing on 8 April 2021 and concluding on 8 April 2022. The total value of the contract amounts to £165,000. The procurement was conducted under regulation 14 of the PCR 2015 as a Research and Development Services exemption. The tender period concluded on 6 April 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in transport services, particularly those involved in vehicle repair, maintenance, and related technologies. Companies engaged in research and experimental development services may also find this a fitting opportunity. Given the focus on e-scooters, businesses with innovative transport solutions and a commitment to safety standards in urban mobility are well-positioned to compete and expand their market share in this emerging sector.

## Notice

In early May 2020, the Department for Transport ('DfT') announced its intention to start trials of rental e-scooters, to help support cities across the United Kingdom as part of their restart and recovery response following the Coronavirus-induced lockdown. DfT has demonstrated its preference for coordination of trials at a local level. Transport for London ('TfL') has therefore been working with London Councils as representative for the 32 London boroughs and the City of London Corporation (the 'Boroughs') with the intent to administer, coordinate and evaluate such trial with the potential for all Boroughs in Greater London to participate. By coordinating efforts, TfL and the Boroughs can: (i) drive a consistent and safe trial standard across London; (ii) provide an evidence base for TfL and the Borough's own policy position on the e-scooters and DfT's research to inform possible changes to legislation regarding e-scooters; and (iii) provide an alternative transport option.
