## Summary

The Worcester City Council has awarded a contract for the Worcester City Bike Share Scheme to Smidsy Ltd. (t/a Beryl). The contract, valued at £599,954.80 GBP, was signed on October 26, 2023.

The procurement was carried out through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation.

The Worcester City Bike Share Scheme tender, initiated on June 14, 2023, by the Worcester City Council, presents an opportunity for businesses in the services sector. Businesses in transport services, especially those with experience in operating bike schemes or providing sustainable travel options, would be well-suited to compete. The tender, with a contract period of 1440 days, seeks to improve sustainable travel options and accessibility for public bike users.

## Notice

The Contract will operate with a single Supplier appointed to operate the bike share scheme in accordance with the Council's specification and contract. The funding model is envisaged to be PS500,000 capital funding and PS100,000 revenue funding from the Council at the start of the scheme. This is the maximum funding available to the scheme and submissions over this price will not be considered. The number of bikes to be provided and the approach to deployment will be agreed with the Supplier. The Supplier will provide all equipment and any associated required infrastructure. The Project aims to provide low-cost access to members of the public who wish to use bikes and to encourage cycling as a viable sustainable travel option. The bike share scheme is aimed at commuters, business travellers, leisure users, tourists, and students. Bikes and ebikes should form part of the scheme to allow people to make longer journeys and journeys over hillier terrain and make the scheme more accessible.
