## Summary

Cornwall Council is currently in the planning stage of a tender for the "Cornwall public bike and e-bike hire schemes." This initiative is focused on the transport services industry and aims to assess the market interest in providing cycle hire schemes across various locations in Cornwall, UK. The deadline for suppliers to submit their expressions of interest is 6th March 2020, with a supplier day scheduled for 17th March 2020 to discuss proposals in more detail.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the cycling and transport sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in bike and e-bike provision, hire services, or related infrastructures are encouraged to participate. Engaging in this soft market assessment could pave the way for future collaborations with Cornwall Council as they explore the development of a comprehensive business proposal for the cycle hire schemes.

## Notice

Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest across the bike/e-bike hire sector for the provision of cycle hire schemes at various locations in Cornwall. It is intended that the responses supplied will enable the Council to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment. This is not a formal tender document. Participation of this soft market assessment will not prejudice suppliers participating in any future procurement. If you are interested in this area of service provision and also helping with our assessment of the market, please read the scheme summaries appended and complete the "Information Required" section at the end of this notice along with any additional information you consider to be relevant and return this via the Due North system/e-mail by 6th March 2020. The Council will be holding a supplier day on the 17th March where suppliers are invited to exhibit their services/products and discuss the scheme proposals in more detail.
