The Council has been operating dockless e-bike hire services, as a trial, since March 2024; the current arrangements with the incumbent operators come to an end by September 2025. Therefore, the Council will need to either enter into new arrangements or cease to have any in place. However, it is proposed that the best solution is to retain a managed approach, rather than doing nothing. There is an opportunity to run a competitive procurement exercise, inviting operators to bid to work with the Council, providing dockless e-bike hire services. Based on insights from our current services as well as from the wider market, any new arrangements can be tailored to maximise benefits - at both a service and commercial level - to the Council.
