Tender description

Glasgow City Council has a requirement to appoint a suitably experienced cycle hire operator to provide a Mass Automated Cycle Hire (MACH) service operating from Council provided MACH Stations within the City of Glasgow. The Council shall award the contract to a single operator and provide exclusive access to these MACH stations, subject to the terms of the Contract. The Service Provider will provide for a network of cycles allowing the public access to automated bike hire facilities using a cost structure which encourages localised point to point journeys within Glasgow City Centre and its environs. The MACH Scheme is essentially seen as an extension of the public transport infrastructure, enabling improved interchange between subway, rail and bus stations and extending the range of access to key destinations and trip attractors in the City. Please also refer to section II.1.4 for further details of the scope and description of the contract.
