Original Tender Description

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) is looking to renew its Concession Contract for a Micro-mobility Service operator for Cambridge to deliver the e-scooter trial and to provide e-bikes. The CPCA invites interested organizations to an online market engagement session for the upcoming renewal of the Concession Contract for the micro-mobility service in Cambridge. In the summer of 2020, the Department for Transport (DfT) fast tracked plans for e-scooter trials in England to support travel during the time of COVID – 19. Later in October of 2020 the Combined Authority launched the e-scooter trial in Cambridge with e-bikes joining the fleet in February 2021. The e-scooter trial has been further extended to 31 May 2028 by the DfT, and the current Concession Contract expires on 31 October 2026. The CPCA is the lead authority, working closely with Cambridgeshire County Council as the Highway Authority, Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. The ambition for the CPCA is to provide travel choice for the people of Cambridge, enabling first and last mile trips and promoting the use of public transport. The e-scooter trial and e-bikes have been a huge success and ridership grows year on year. With that success come challenges particularly for fleet tidiness. The CPCA want to continue to build the service and minimizing any impacts on non-users. Additionally, there is an ambition to make the service more accessible to people with disabilities, demographics that currently do not have the propensity to engage with micro-mobility and those that maybe digitally or financially excluded. The market engagement seeks operator input into the development of the specification and the Combined Authority’s approach to the procurement. It will also provide an overview of the current operational area and service.

Tender Quality Score

This tender is in the planning stage, focusing on market engagement for a micro-mobility service renewal. It provides a clear description and estimated value but lacks detailed evaluation criteria and specific submission requirements beyond the engagement session.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender is in the planning phase, which explains the absence of a formal procedure code and detailed regulatory compliance checks. The CPV code is provided, and there are no immediate indications of disputes. Deadlines are present but the submission deadline appears relatively short given the planning stage.

Clarity80/100

The description of the service and the objectives of the market engagement are clear. The ambition for accessibility and inclusivity is well-articulated. However, specific evaluation criteria for the future procurement are not yet defined, which is expected at this stage.

Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. The CPV code is included. However, the tender documents themselves are not yet available, and crucial details like evaluation criteria and specific submission requirements for the actual tender are missing, as expected in a planning phase.

Fairness85/100

The market engagement approach suggests an intention to gather input, which can lead to a fairer specification. The estimated value is disclosed. The focus on inclusivity and accessibility indicates an objective approach to service development. The lack of specific company tailoring is positive.

Practicality65/100

The tender is in a planning stage, so e-submission is not applicable yet. A contract start date and duration are specified. Financing information is implicitly linked to the estimated value. The primary practical element is the market engagement session, which is online.

•No e-submission details available (expected for planning stage)
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The contract start date is after the submission deadline, which is consistent.

Sustainability50/100

While the description mentions ambitions for accessibility and inclusivity, there are no explicit mentions of green procurement, innovation, or social aspects beyond general accessibility. It is not indicated as EU funded.

•Not explicitly green procurement
•No explicit social criteria mentioned beyond accessibility
