The procurement is for transport services to provide and operate a shared micromobility scheme, drawing on approaches that have been successfully deployed in other local authority areas. The authorities want to understand whether the market can meet the potential requirements and generate interest in delivering a scheme across Bracknell Forest and Wokingham. This is a public service concession opportunity, with the councils considering how a shared transport service could operate across the two local authority areas. Suppliers with relevant shared micromobility or comparable transport service experience should find the scope relevant. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The councils intend to use a concession arrangement for one lot, with an estimated value of £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). The anticipated contract period is from 2 April 2027 to 1 September 2031. The next notice is expected on 1 April 2027. The authorities are seeking completed questionnaire responses by midday on 16 October 2026 through the Tenders Portal, to inform their understanding of market interest and capability. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement is classified as above the applicable threshold. The engagement is likely to suit operators and specialist suppliers that can design, launch and run shared micromobility services for local authorities. The councils are particularly interested in evidence of a scheme successfully deployed in another local authority area, so relevant operating experience, implementation capability and a credible service model will be important when the procurement reaches the market. Suppliers should be prepared to explain how their approach could meet potential requirements across two neighbouring boroughs and how the service would work at local-authority scale. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant beyond large national transport operators. Businesses with shared transport, fleet operations, mobility technology or local authority concession experience should consider preparing relevant case studies and capability information. ## Notice Bracknell Forest Council and Wokingham Borough Council are exploring options to introduce a shared micromobility scheme across the two boroughs. The Authorities would like to gauge market interest in a scheme in Bracknell Forest and Wokingham and the capability of the market to meet potential requirements. The Authorities would like information regarding the provision of a shared micromobility scheme that has been successfully deployed in other local authority areas. ### Planning Information Questionnaire for Shared Micromobility Scheme being published, completed questionnaire must be received by Friday 16th October 2026 @ midday/12:00 via the Tenders Portal (https://procontract.due-north.com/register/) Advert link - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/AdvertSummary?projectId=9c2409cc-feb0-f111-813c-005056b64545&projectStepId=992f0590-01b1-f111-813c-005056b64545 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/087326-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Apr 2027 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2027 - 1 Sep 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Bracknell Forest Borough Council | | Locality | BRACKNELL | | Postcode area | Reading | | Postcode | RG12 1JD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ15 Berkshire East | | Local authority | Bracknell Forest | | Electoral ward | Town Centre & The Parks | | Westminster constituency | Bracknell | | Delivery location | TLJ11 Berkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
