## Summary

The London Borough of Camden is procuring dockless bike hire concession services for operation across the London Borough of Camden. The successful operator will receive permission to run a dockless bike hire service throughout the borough, using shared-access infrastructure and services for residents and visitors. This is a transport service concession, classified under CPV 60100000 (road transport services). The requirement forms part of a wider procurement in which Camden intends to appoint operators for dockless bike hire services. This Lot 2 opportunity is intended for a single operator to provide access across the full capacity of the borough, where only one compliant tender is received. The detailed service, operational and technical requirements are set out in the specification and tender documents.

The procurement has reached tender: Camden invited offers through an open procedure for a concession contract. Enquiries had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 23:59:59, and tenders by 25 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2032, with a Council break clause at the end of the second year or at any later time. The estimated value is £82,000,000 excluding VAT, or £98,400,000 including VAT. The contract is expected to be awarded by 1 December 2026. Quality accounts for 60% of the evaluation and price for 40%. Electronic submissions are allowed in English. This opportunity is Lot 2 and is suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits an established dockless bike hire or shared-mobility operator able to run a borough-wide service under a concession model. Suppliers will need the operational capability to provide and manage dockless bikes across Camden, support users and maintain reliable day-to-day service delivery. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses with experience of transport or micromobility operations, fleet deployment, maintenance, monitoring and customer service at borough scale. A bidder should be able to demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity to operate throughout the full borough and meet the specification’s service and technical requirements over a multi-year contract. The procurement identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist operators with the necessary delivery capability may also be well placed to compete.

## Notice

The London Borough of Camden are seeking to award concession contracts for the provision of Dockless Bike Hire Services. The contracts will be for a period of 5 years commencing on 1st June 2027 with a break clause at the end of the second year of the contract or at any time thereafter, at the sole option of the Council. Full details of the requirements are set out in the Specification and other documents that form part of the tender pack. The Council intends to appoint two operators to provide dockless bike hire (DBH) concession services in the London Borough of Camden. The contracts will give permission to operate DBH services in the borough. The services covered by this tender documentation are split into two Lots as follows: Lot 1: Two contracts to be awarded, for shared access to operate in the Borough. Lot 2: A single contract to be awarded, for access to operate in the full capacity of the Borough, where only one compliant tender is received. Please note that separate UK4 Notices have been published for Lot 1 (contract 1) and Lot 1 (contract 2). Because the Authority intends to award contracts under either Lot 1 or Lot 2, the total estimated concession value for Lot 2 is the same as for Lot 1. Lot 1 (contract 1) Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-079931 Lot 1 (contract 2) Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-079935
