## About this tender

Portsmouth City Council ('the council'), on behalf of Solent Transport, is establishing a multi-supplier, multi-Lot Framework Agreement for the provision of shared bike rental schemes in the Solent Transport area.

The Framework Agreement is made up of 2 Lots, with each Lot consisting of 3-4 suppliers:

o Lot 1 - Central Southern England

o Lot 2 - Isle of Wight

Bike share rental schemes are planned for Portsmouth, Southampton and on the Isle of Wight. Contracts for delivery of these schemes will be awarded in parallel with the establishment of the framework. The highest ranked tenderer on Lot 1 will be awarded separate contracts by Portsmouth and Southampton City Councils. The highest ranked tenderer on Lot 2 will be awarded a contract by Isle of Wight Council.

Solent Transport is a partnership of the four Local Transport Authorities in the Solent Region (the council, Southampton City Council, Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council).

Solent Transport successfully bid for funding from the Department for Transport to establish a Future Transport Zone (FTZ). The FTZ bid includes ?2million that can be allocated to launch bike share schemes. This funding available is forecast to be split as follows:

o Portsmouth and Southampton: ?1.6million - ?1.8million

o Isle of Wight: ?200,000 - ?400,000

Tenderers have the option of taking up all, some or none of the available funding. FTZ funding ends on 30th June 2024 and as such tenderers are required to put forward proposals which will be financially self-sustaining beyond this date.

The initial term of the contracts for Southampton, Portsmouth and Isle of Wight Councils will commence from 1st June 2022 with launch to follow over the summer, and will run until 30th June 2024. The contracts may be extended at the option of the contracting authorities in increments to be agreed to a maximum total term of approx. 10 years.

All assets purchased using FTZ funding will be maintained and operated by the supplier(s) who will retain responsibility for all upkeep and replacement. On termination or expiry of the contract, the supplier will be required to 11buy back11 assets at their current market value on a prescribed deprecation basis. The depreciation model is included within the procurement documents.

The scope of this framework includes, but is not limited to:

o Complete shared bike rental scheme services, supplies and any necessary works required during installation. This includes for all types of bike, including but not limited to manual, electric, cargo, adapted bikes and tricycles.

oSharee-scooter rental scheme services, supplies and any necessary works required during installation.

o Bike and associated micr...
