Hereford City Bike Share Re-procurement
Decision Maker: Cabinet member Infrastructure and transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
This report seeks authority to re-procure the successful Hereford City public bike share service.
Decision:
That:
a) A public bike share service be procured in line with the council’s contract
procedure rules at a value not exceeding £500,000 utilising a 5+2+2 services
contract.
Alternative options considered:
1. Let the current contract elapse and not re-procure the bike share service.
a. This would adversely affect the Council’s ability to meet the objectives of the Local Transport Plan (LTP) and the Delivery Plan which seeks to accelerate the modal shift towards sustainable and active travel modes, reduce congestion on the roads around the city and improving the air quality within the Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). This option carries significant reputational risk.
