CPCA - E-Scooter Trials

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The Department for Transport has recently consulted on what rules are required to allow scooters to be trialled safely.

They are a popular form of transport in many cities around the world, but currently it is illegal to use them on public roads and pavements in the UK.

To support a 'green' restart of local travel and help mitigate reduced public transport capacity, the Combined Authority along with the Department for Transport is fast tracking trials of rental e-scooters.

E-scooters offer the potential for fast, clean inexpensive travel that can also help ease the burden on transport networks and allow for social distancing.

We are therefore looking for a supplier to assist us in developing our proposal to support our application to the Department for Transport.

What we are looking for This is a real chance to make a transformational difference in the Cambridgeshire Peterborough region!

The purpose of the market engagement event is to gather market opinion of the Combined Authority and partners potential delivery model, supplier selection method and proposal for an E-Scooter trial.

The Combined Authority seeks to gain alignment with industry capability and expectations regarding procurement and delivery and ensuring that we are meeting the overall strategic objectives as set out by our Local Transport Plan.

Participants should see the market supplier event process as an opportunity to inform the delivery strategy of the professional services drawing on past experiences and future challenges
