01What is being requested
A three-year pilot for a public regional bike-sharing system in eight municipalities, with an expected fleet of approximately 2,400 shared bicycles (50% electric and 50% non-electric). The system operates according to a back-to-many-model with digital and physical hubs to strengthen accessibility, availability, and affordability in the region.
The MRDH is preparing a concession contract for which a pilot for a regional public bike-sharing system (consisting of bicycles with electric pedal assistance and bicycles without such assistance) will be tendered. It concerns a concession contract as referred to in part 2a of the Aanbestedingswet 2012. This concession contract (hereinafter: concession) will be tendered at the European level. The MRDH and the municipalities participating in this assignment wish to provide a significant impulse to the development of a regional system for shared bicycles. Prior to the tender, the MRDH wishes to
02Strategic insight
<ul Focus on delivering measurable performance regarding availability, complaint handling, and CO₂ impact instead of describing internal business operations. Take into account the financial impact of the fleet mix; a higher proportion of electric bicycles may make operations more efficient but increases the need for subsidies or tariffs. Ensure a system that is flexibly deployable for the relocation of hubs and the adjustment of the service area.
