The procurement method is a selective procedure with negotiation, and the tender period ends on 31st July 2020. The contract will last for five years, starting from 10th January 2021, with an option for two further one-year extensions. This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically related to motor scooters and cycles, with an estimated total value of £30 million, and a minimum value of £7.5 million. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in transportation, logistics, and technology sectors, particularly those that specialise in bike hire services, maintenance, and ICT solutions. Companies with experience in implementing and managing infrastructure projects, as well as those focused on sustainable transport options, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative aligns with promoting cycling within the community, making it an attractive prospect for businesses dedicated to environmental sustainability and urban transport development. ## Notice TfGM is seeking to appoint a service provider to design, implement, develop and operate a bike hire scheme across Greater Manchester. The scheme will include, but not be limited to: (a) assets (mechanical and electric bikes, physical docking infrastructure and geo-fencing/virtual docking); (b) an ICT solution; (c) provision of services to operate the scheme (for example cleaning and maintenance, customer services, finance and administration services etc); and (d) the provision of consultancy on the development of the scheme. The contract term is 5 years (following an agreed implementation period) with potential to extend by up to 2 further years in two separate 12-month extensions at TfGM's discretion. The procurement will be conducted using the competitive procedure with negotiation pursuant to Regulation 29 of the PCR 2015. Additional information: TfGM's vision is to deliver a successful public cycle hire scheme that integrates with the wider Greater Manchester public transport offer (in terms of proximity to bus, train and tram locations). TfGM is therefore seeking a service provider to design implement, develop and operate a bike hire scheme across Greater Manchester. TfGM's mission for the project is to provide a bike hire scheme that: (a) is an accessible and affordable transport option; (b) is easy to use by Greater Manchester's target bike hire market; (c) is safe and secure; (d) is respected and valued by Greater Manchester's communities; and (e) promotes cycling and facilitates a long term 'modal shift' in the region. The initial phase of the project will likely involve the initial installation and operation of the docks and bikes within certain Greater Manchester districts (Phase 1). Subsequent phases will be dependent upon the success of phase 1 and the provision of funding but will likely involve: 1) increasing the numbers of bikes and docks in the phase 1 Greater Manchester districts; and/or 2) the development and expansion of phase 1 networks to other districts across Greater Manchester; and/or 3) introducing bikes and docks into Greater Manchester districts which are not necessarily connected to the phase 1 networks. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/017cd93e-6f61-4e76-9dea-1a09e03cfab6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Jan 2021 - 18 Jun 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR GREATER MANCHESTER | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 3BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34420000 - Motor scooters and cycles with auxiliary motors - 34430000 - Bicycles ## Release History - 29 Jun 2020 at 12:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/017cd93e-6f61-4e76-9dea-1a09e03cfab6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/017cd93e-6f61-4e76-9dea-1a09e03cfab6 29th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/973764aa-201d-43d0-93e9-8c69eb94e062 TED Notice - https://procontract.due-north.com ## Notice URLs - http://www.tfgm.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
