This initiative aims to transform Sunderland City Centre, focusing on sustainable and integrated mobility solutions. Key dates include the engagement end date, which is set for 31st August 2021. The project involves the delivery of electric vehicles and e-bikes, with relevant requirements documented in the Pre-Procurement Market Testing Questionnaire. This exercise is intended to gauge market interest and gather insights for potential future procurement. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electric vehicles, software solutions for mobility systems, and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as Sunderland City Council is seeking innovative and technologically advanced proposals. Businesses capable of providing electric vehicles, e-bikes, or developing integrated mobility platforms are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender, as it aims to establish one of the UK's first Mobility Hubs. ## Notice Sunderland City Council ("SCC") intends to work towards the delivery of a Mobility Hub within Sunderland City Centre. Scope of Requirements: The relocation of SCC's Headquarters to a new City Hall, as part of the wider Riverside Sunderland development, with a key focus on sustainability and integrated mobility, provide the ideal opportunity to work towards delivery of one of the UK's first Mobility Hubs. The initial focus being to deliver an SCC electric pool vehicle solution, consisting of 10 electric vehicles (Nissan Leaf or similar) and 20 e-bikes, as this will serve as the foundation from which to develop the Mobility Hub and expand to wider partner then public use. An overview of the scope of requirements is outlined within the Pre-Procurement Market Testing Questionnaire. Pre-Procurement Market Testing Exercise: Prior to procuring individual elements/products, SCC would like to establish whether any supplier or a consortium of suppliers are capable and interested in delivering initial core elements, then work with SCC to develop a fully integrated Mobility Hub. SCC is keen to obtain up-to-date insight from the market and is therefore undertaking a Pre-Procurement Market Testing exercise to explore business, technological and innovative solutions that are available. In addition, this will allow SCC to gauge the level of market interest.
