## Summary

The London Borough of Camden is in the planning stage for a public procurement process to establish a Dockless Bike Hire service. The process is detailed in a pipeline notice and involves a significant contract starting in June 2027 and running until June 2032, with an anticipated start date communicated by August 2026. This project, categorised under public road transport services, aims to hire providers for dockless bike services in London. The planned procurement activity aims to develop the council's high-value services procurement but is not yet a call for competition.

The tender offers substantial opportunities for growth to businesses capable of providing large-scale, sustainable transport services. Ideal candidates include companies in the public road transport and shared mobility industry, particularly those with experience in delivering service contracts and innovative solutions in urban mobility. The procurement method involves preliminary market engagement to understand the market's capacity and capabilities, allowing companies to influence the final tender's conditions and opportunities in the expanding micro-mobility sector.

## Notice

*This notice is a PIPELINE NOTICE and therefore is NOT currently a call for competition. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pipeline Notice is intended to provide the most accurate forecast currently available for the council's high value procurement activity, but does not commit the council to procuring any contract and may be amended after publication. No further information other than that captured in this notice can be provided at this time.*

### Planning Information

The London Borough of Camden is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a planned tender for two providers to deliver up to 1000 dockless hire bikes each from the start of June 2027 for a period of 5 years with a break clause after 2 years. This engagement aims to inform the development of the tender, understand market capacity and capability, and explore approaches to delivery, sustainability, and social value. Interested parties are invited to respond to the Preliminary Market Engagement questionnaire and form.
