E-bike hire scheme for Stoke-on-Trent, 800-1,000 bikes.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council seeks a delivery partner to design, implement, and operate a commercially viable e-bike hire scheme with a fleet of 800-1,000 e-bikes across key locations in the city. The scheme aims to provide sustainable travel alternatives for short journeys, reduce car use, improve air quality, and promote public health. The partner must ensure reliable availability, maintenance, geo-fencing, and data sharing for monitoring. The Council seeks a model with no ongoing subsidy and future scalability.
