This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 23 February 2018. Interested parties should register on the specified e-tendering platform to confirm their interest, as this is part of the early engagement phase aimed at assessing market interest for the project. This consultancy opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses that specialise in transport systems analysis, data collection, and consultancy related to infrastructure projects. Companies with experience in providing analytics for transport initiatives, as well as those familiar with cycling infrastructure and demand forecasting, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative aims to enhance bicycle hire accessibility in key areas, creating a constructive opportunity for innovative and data-driven consultancy services. ## Notice Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) are investigating the potential for a bicycle hire scheme in the West Midlands. TfWM are potentially looking to procure consultancy support to develop a bicycle hire scheme and the subsequent supporting business case to aide an investment decision. It is intended that an initial scheme would be limited in geographic coverage to some of the key centres and corridors which will be determined by TfWM and local authority partners. The work is likely to require the following activities to be undertaken: - Analysis of existing datasets, including but not limited to survey data, census data and cycle count data. - Potential for additional data collection, including counts and surveys. - Recommendations for: - Locations for cycle hire stations - Number of cycle docking points at each station - Demand forecast for usage based upon the above recommendations, including sensitivity analysis for variations in user charges. While a full brief is being developed which will outline the above in more detail, TfWM intends to gauge potential interest in a piece of work of this type.
