Description

Essex County Council ('the Authority') are procuring a concessions contract for a single Service Provider to deliver E-scooter rental schemes, including but not limited to the provision, management, protection and maintenance of E-scooter vehicles, within set Operating Zones in the county: Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester and Harlow. The initial term for the Contract is from 14th August 2025 to 31st May 2026, and there are provisions within the Contract to extend Services for three periods of twelve months thereafter, permitting extension to align with government regulations should the E-scooters trials be extended. The Service Provider shall ensure the outcome of this contract is an additional sustainable transport option to support the Authority's net zero targets, promoting behaviour change away from motor transport, and to improve connectivity across the region.
