Tender description

This Invitation to Tender ("ITT") has been produced to enable WMCA to evaluate the solutions and services offered by bidders and identify the bidder(s) which best meet its needs. TfWM will introduce hubs on the transport network (including rail and bus stations), local centres, and within residential developments. At these locations, hubs will: • Introduce a physical platform for the introduction of sustainable travel options. • Co-locate sustainable travel options to provide users with an integrated experience. • Provide wider community services to help people to live locally. TfWM are seeking a partner (Supplier) to design, supply, install, deliver the required infrastructure. The Supplier will work collaboratively with TfWM and the constituent authorities of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). Together, we will use our prototype design and the core requirements set out in this specification to develop a cost-effective, street-ready, high-quality, and user-centred mobility hub product for the region. Lot 1: The vision for this project is “To define and test Mobility Hubs, based on citizen-centric needs, to determine what contribution they can make to building a better connected, more prosperous, fairer, greener and healthier region”. The project is the second phase of the West Midlands Mobility Hub Programme. With this programme, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) will be among the first UK regions to deploy a large network of mobility hubs. TfWM will introduce hubs on the transport network (including rail and bus stations), local centres, and within residential developments. At these locations, hubs will: • Introduce a physical platform for the introduction of sustainable travel options. • Co-locate sustainable travel options to provide users with an integrated experience. • Provide wider community services to help people to live locally. TfWM are seeking a partner (Supplier) to design, supply, install, deliver the required infrastructure. The Supplier will work collaboratively with TfWM and the constituent authorities of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). Together, we will use our prototype design and the core requirements set out in this specification to develop a cost-effective, street-ready, high-quality, and user-centred mobility hub product for the region. By April 2023, we require the Supplier to design, supply, install and deliver three mobility hubs in 2023. TfWM will use these three hubs during a DfT-funded pilot in Halesowen. Following this, there is the potential that TfWM will install up to 40 mobility hubs across the region by 2027. TfWM aims to work with the Supplier appointed through this procurement process on both phases of the programme. This wider deployment is subject to quality delivery during the pilot project, and business case approval.
