What the notice says
Swansea Council is exploring the procurement of a city-wide rental micromobility scheme, with an initial focus on e-bikes and associated services, to support its wider transport, environmental, and economic objectives. Swansea Council is engaging with the micromobility market to explore options and approaches for a city-wide rental e-bike scheme. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise will be used to test the feasibility of Swansea Council’s indicative proposals, explore potential delivery models, and understand market capacity and appetite ahead of any future procurement. Please note that due to Sell2Wales restrictions on UK2 notices (Preliminary Market Engagement Notices) then this notice will require potential providers to search for a later notice which contains all the relevant documents.
