PL0092 E-Scooters Hire Scheme Request for Information

Essex County Council are currently participating in the Department for Transport pilot electric scooter hire scheme. We are currently exploring our options for the future of our E-Scooter Hire Schemes through a concession arrangement. The main purpose of this Market Engagement is to discover which providers would be interested in delivering on this requirement, and to understand any considerations we may need to take into account. Please note that this is a soft market test to collect information, and this is not a request for quotation or invitation to tender. The Authority is still considering it's options for this requirement, and therefore cannot currently make any firm commitments on our plans.
