## Description
Portsmouth City Council ('the council') on behalf of Solent Transport, has established a multi-supplier, multi-Lot Framework Agreement for the provision of shared bike rental schemes in the Solent Transport area.
The award of the framework agreement is 1st July 2022 for a 4 year period.
 The Framework Agreement is made up of 2 Lots;
• Lot 1 - Central Southern England - Consisting of 4 suppliers
• Lot 2 - Isle of Wight - Consisting of 2 suppliers
Bike share rental schemes are planned for Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight. Contracts for delivery of these schemes have been awarded in parallel with the establishment of the framework. The highest ranked tenderer on Lot 1, Beryl,  was awarded separate contracts by Portsmouth and Southampton City Councils. The highest ranked tenderer on Lot 2, Beryl, was awarded a contract by Isle of Wight Council.
Solent Transport is a partnership of the four Local Transport Authorities in the Solent Region (the council, Southampton City Council, Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council). Solent Transport successfully bid for funding from the Department for Transport to establish a Future Transport Zone (FTZ). The FTZ bid included £2million that could be allocated to launch bike share schemes. This funding is forecast to be split as follows:
• Portsmouth and Southampton: £1.6 million - £1.8million
• Isle of Wight: £200,000 - £400,000
The scope of this framework includes, but is not limited to:
• Complete shared bike rental scheme services, supplies and any necessary works required during installation. This includes for all types of bike, including but not limited to manual, electric, cargo, adapted bikes and tricycles.
• Shared e-scooter rental scheme services, supplies and any necessary works required during installation.
• Any additional shared rental micro mobility services, for example e-mopeds, that are offered by appointed framework suppliers at award and/or over the duration of the framework agreement.
• Bike and associated micro-mobility pool schemes.
The maximum value of the framework is estimated to be £200million. This is a potential maximum total consideration that includes all potential turnover generated by the suppliers. It allows sufficient capacity in the event that further schemes are launched via the agreement and allows for all potential extension and variation options to be taken up.
Further information is included under Section VI.3.
The council established the framework agreement in accordance with the Open Procedure as defined within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
