The contract, focused on goods and services in the bicycles industry, aims to expand the current cycle hire scheme in Glasgow. The process involves a market consultation exercise to gather feedback from potential suppliers. The deadline for returning the required documents is set for 23rd July 2024, with an expected contract award in February 2025, leading to operational start in September 2025. Businesses in the public road transport services, bicycle locks, street furniture installation, software package and information systems, repair and maintenance services, support services for road transport, and financial transaction processing sectors are suitable for participating in this upcoming tender. The procurement opportunity presents a chance for companies to engage in the development of the Glasgow Cycle Hire Scheme, offering economically advantageous solutions to the City Council while allowing service providers to recover investments and secure profits. ## Notice Supplies & services contract . The current cycle hire 7-year contract has an option to extend for a period of 12 months from September 2024 - September 2025 and this option will likely be exercised. It is envisaged that the new contract will be awarded in February 2025 to allow for a 6-month mobilisation period and operational start date of September 2025. The current Service contract has reached its legal capacity to expand further than the current scheme of 43 MACH Stations and 435 bikes. We are therefore looking to assess alternative options for expanding the Glasgow Cycle Hire Scheme and these options require to be tested with the current market providers. The Council is looking to engage with Cycle Hire Operators on various business models (see below) in order to ascertain, which one would be Most Economically Advantageous to the Council, whilst offering a Service Provider the opportunity to recoup any investment and secure a profit. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Glasgow City Council is conducting a market consultation exercise to gather information that will assist in the development of a procurement strategy and tender that will deliver a contract for a Mass Automated Cycle Hire Scheme.
