## Summary

The Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "E-Cargo Bikes Orkney" project, which aims to implement an electric cargo bike scheme in Orkney as a sustainable alternative to traditional delivery methods. The procurement is classified under goods and follows an open procedure. Key dates include the submission deadline on 9th March 2021 and the contract award was signed on 14th May 2021, valued at £21,584. The main location for delivery is Orkney, and the project falls within the transport industry category.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on sustainable transportation solutions, particularly those specialising in electric vehicles or bicycles. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in supplying or operating eCargo bikes could find this procurement process particularly relevant. Firms that prioritise environmentally friendly practices and innovation in logistics are likely to be well-suited to compete, as the initiative encourages a transition from carbon-intensive transport options to greener alternatives.
