The process is currently in the planning stage, with a total estimated value of £6 million, and aims to deliver a network of mobility hubs across Plymouth by March 2023. Key activities include market engagement sessions scheduled for the 2nd and 3rd of March 2021, as well as the submission deadline for a Soft Market Test Questionnaire by 12:00 noon on 19 March 2021. The project aims to include infrastructure for electric vehicle charging, an e-car club, and a MaaS platform, with indicative dates for future notices expected around July 16, 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in transport services, electric vehicle infrastructure, and digital platform development. Suppliers of electric vehicle charging solutions, e-bike providers, and companies capable of delivering integrated mobility services would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The early market engagement process is designed to refine the project’s approach based on feedback from potential providers, ensuring that innovative solutions can be identified and implemented effectively. Participating in the market sessions will provide valuable insights into the Council's strategy, allowing businesses to align their proposals accordingly. ## Notice Plymouth City Council ("The Council") aims to deliver a network of Mobility Hubs across Plymouth by March 2023. These Hubs will comprise of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, an e-car club, e-bikes and digital information boards. A Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platform and app will be created to enable travel planning and to integrate the components of the Mobility Hubs project. The size of the Hubs will vary according to the need at each location and in total will consist of around 300 electric vehicle charging points, and will support approximately 400 e-bikes. The Council is keen to gain up-to-date insight from the market and is therefore conducting early market engagement to explore business, technological and innovative solutions that are available. In addition, this will allow The Council to gauge the level of market interest, and on what terms solutions can be delivered. ### Lot Information Lot 1 It is envisaged that new contracts will include but not be limited to, provision of Mobility Hub infrastructure, e-bikes, an EV car club, a MaaS app, including design, installation, supply, deliver and maintenance. The estimated date of publication of the Mobility Hubs procurement notice(s) is summer 2021. The procurement route and procedures are still to be decided. Market engagement sessions will be held during the afternoon of Tuesday 2nd March 2021 and throughout Wednesday 3rd March 2021. This will provide an opportunity for organisations to gain an insight into the initiative and provide feedback that will enable The Council to refine its approach. It is envisaged that a further Market Engagement Day will then be held in May 2021 at which the refined procurement approach will be explained and potential bidders can engage with The Council's legal, procurement and technical teams. Note that the "Estimated total value" of PS6 million is indicative and reflects the funding that The Council currently expects to be available. It does not include revenue generated from operation of the service, which may be reinvested into the contract, and it does not include future funding that may become available. The Council expects to provide an updated "Estimated total value" when it publishes the contract notice. The Council will take into consideration the information gathered from the market engagement to decide whether or not a service concession structure will provide better value for the community. The Council is considering what duration is necessary to best achieve its objectives in light of bidder feedback during early market engagement; it anticipates that the contracts will be for at least 5 years, depending on the model selected. The Council will also consider whether to split its requirements into lots or to award a contract to a single provider or consortium. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002123-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Jul 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL1 3BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | St Peter and the Waterfront | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | TLK41 Plymouth | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 60 - Transport services (excl.
