What is being bought

Published requirement description

The London Borough of Camden are seeking to award concession contracts for the provision of Dockless Bike Hire Services.

The contracts will be for a period of 5 years commencing on 1st June 2027 with a break clause at the end of the second year of the contract or at any time thereafter, at the sole option of the Council.

Full details of the requirements are set out in the Specification and other documents that form part of the tender pack.

The Council intends to appoint two operators to provide dockless bike hire (DBH) concession services in the London Borough of Camden. The contracts will give permission to operate DBH services in the borough. The services covered by this tender documentation are split into two Lots as follows:

Lot 1: Two contracts to be awarded, for shared access to operate in the Borough.

Lot 2: A single contract to be awarded, for access to operate in the full capacity of the Borough, where only one compliant tender is received.

Please note that separate UK4 Notices have been published for Lot 1 (contract 1) and Lot 1 (contract 2). Because the Authority intends to award contracts under either Lot 1 or Lot 2, the total estimated concession value for Lot 2 is the same as for Lot 1.

Lot 1 (contract 1) Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-079931

Lot 1 (contract 2) Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-079935

  • No preliminary market engagement: A preliminary market engagement notice has been published (see (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-066066) . However, following market engagement the Authority has decided to publish separate tender notices which relate to the original pipeline and preliminary market engagement notices. Separate UK4 Notices have been published for Lot 1 (contract 1) and Lot 1 (contract 2). The Find a Tender system appears to only allow one tender notice to be linked to an OCID, so the checkbox for this particular notice has had to be unchecked to allow for publication of this tender notice.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
