## About this tender

This is a Contract Details notice for two contracts in relation to the third phase of the transport for London (TfL) E-scooter Rental Trial (the 'Trial'). The procurement has been conducted pursuant to the Procurement Act 2023. TfL awarded two contracts and entered into two Administration Agreements ('Agreement') with the Operators who submitted the most advantageous tenders in relation to performance of thee-scooter services required by the Trial.

The Agreement sets out the terms that apply to an Operator in relation to the provision of e-scooter services in the Greater London Area and its obligations to a) TfL as the Administrator of the third phase of the Trial and b) the various London Boroughs and/or the City of London Corporation who wish to participate in the Trial by permitting the use of e-scooters within their respective jurisdictions (referred to as 'Participating Boroughs'). The Agreement provides that a Participating Borough may issue a notice to require the relevant Operators to enter into a contract for the provision of e-scooter rental services in the geographic area controlled by that Participating Borough. Participating Boroughs may choose to enter a Full-Service contract for the provision of an e-scooter rental service or to allow e-scooters to be ridden through only (Ride-Through-Borough).

TfL awarded two (2) contracts. Three (3) Tenders have been submitted that met the minimum requirements and met the award criteria. TfL evaluated responses from all three Tenderers.

This is a contract details notice that the Authority has entered into legally binding contracts with the top two scoring Tenders (most advantageous tenders) after observing the required standstill period. Note: pursuant to the Agreement, which is a concessionary arrangement, Operators must pay the Charges set out in the Specification. The Charges payable to TfL as the Administrator comprise an annual Administration Charge and an annual Per Bay Charge relating to the number of parking bays available. Further detail about the Charges is given in the Specification. Operators are not entitled to request payment under the Agreement from the Administrator or any of the Participating Boroughs.

The third phase of the Trial is planned to commence in September 2026 and will run for an initial term up to 24 months, which will comprise twenty-six consecutive 28-day periods. The Trial term may at TfL's discretion be extended for up to 4 years in increments of any length up to a maximum of 4 years. The Trial term will run in line with national legislation, currently in place until May 2028.

The total value of the Agreement is defined as the maximum aggregate revenue accessible to Operators over the duration of the Trial term (assuming the maximum four-year extension period is used).
