The work covers providing the bicycle fleet and running, maintaining and managing the service, including customer support. This is a passenger transport service (CPV 60112000), with the associated supply and hire of bicycles. The operator will deliver the scheme for the council and support access to sustainable transport for residents. Contract performance also includes community benefits, such as engagement with local schools, colleges and community groups, promoting sustainable travel, supporting local employment, training and apprenticeships, working with local small businesses and third-sector organisations, and improving access to affordable sustainable transport. Stirling Council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 19 November 2026 at 12:00, with the evaluation period starting at that time. The procurement is a single-lot service contract, with an estimated value of £135,000. The initial contract period is three years, with options to extend by up to two further 12-month periods. Bids must be submitted electronically in English; variants are not allowed. The stated selection requirement is full accreditation from Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK) or an equivalent body. All selected e-bike models must comply with UK EAPC standards and applicable legal requirements. Community benefit commitments form part of the contract performance requirements and are to be monitored throughout the contract. This opportunity is suited to an established bike-share or micromobility operator able to supply and maintain a fleet while managing a public-facing hire service and customer support. Suppliers need full CoMoUK accreditation or equivalent, and must ensure every e-bike model meets UK Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) standards and relevant legal requirements. The scope calls for operational capacity across fleet provision, upkeep, service management and customer care, alongside delivery of community commitments. Providers with experience engaging schools, colleges, community groups, local small businesses and third-sector organisations may be well placed to meet those commitments. The contract also calls for contributions to sustainable travel, local employment, training and apprenticeships, and improved access to affordable transport. ## Notice Stirling Council seeks to appoint an operator to deliver a public e-bike hire scheme, including fleet provision, operation, maintenance, customer support and ongoing management of the service ### Lot Information Lot 1 Stirling Council seeks to appoint an operator to deliver a public e-bike hire scheme, including fleet provision, operation, maintenance, customer support and ongoing management of the service.
