Stevenage expects the scheme will initially require a minimum of 220 cycles (including minimum of 50% e-bikes) for the commencement of the scheme with at least 45 docking stations. Stevenage's preference is that the bikes be predominantly physically 'docked', whether through stands, traditional physical docking infrastructure or integration with existing street furniture. The scheme will run for an initial trial period of 4 years in Stevenage with a potential to extend for a further 2 years as 2 x 1-year extensions. Depending on the success of the scheme and availability of funding, it may be extended and/or expanded into other areas of the Borough and adjoining areas. This procurement is an open process.
