The London Borough of Camden are seeking to award concession contracts for the provision of Dockless Bike Hire Services.
The contracts will be for a period of 5 years commencing on 1st June 2027 with a break clause at the end of the second year of the contract or at any time thereafter, at the sole option of the Council.
Full details of the requirements are set out in the Specification and other documents that form part of the tender pack.
The Council intends to appoint two operators to provide dockless bike hire (DBH) concession services in the London Borough of Camden. The contracts will give permission to operate DBH services in the borough. The services covered by this tender documentation are split into two Lots as follows:
Lot 1: Two contracts to be awarded, for shared access to operate in the Borough.
Lot 2: A single contract to be awarded, for access to operate in the full capacity of the Borough, where only one compliant tender is received.
Please note that separate UK4 Notices have been published for Lot 1 (contract 1) and Lot 1 (contract 2). Because the Authority intends to award contracts under either Lot 1 or Lot 2, the total estimated concession value for Lot 2 is the same as for Lot 1.

Redevelopment of the Wendling Estate and St Stephen’s Close
The Wendling Estate is a council estate located in the Gospel Oak ward, with St Stephen’s Close immediately adjacent. Together they are known as the Wendling and St Stephen’s Close Estate, covering approximately 2.6 hectares and comprising 240 existing homes, including at the time of writing 191 Council-tenanted homes and 49 leasehold properties.
The regeneration of the Wendling Estate and St Stephen’s Close is an important part of the Council’s Community Investment Programme. Residents voted in favour of full redevelopment of the Estate in July 2021 because they wanted new homes, better outdoor spaces, and a safer, more welcoming neighbourhood. The redevelopment proposals aim to deliver high-quality, energy efficient, genuinely affordable and private homes that meet residents’ needs and address long standing issues facing the existing Estate, such as overcrowding and antisocial behaviour.
The Council intends, subject to Cabinet approval, to procure a joint venture development partner to deliver a redevelopment of the estate comprising circa 650-750 high-quality, sustainable new homes; replace the existing hostel and health centre; and improve the existing neighbourhood for current and future residents. The redevelopment will be delivered in accordance with the Landlord Offer that formed the basis of the resident ballot. The contract estimated value is £500m GDV (Gross Development Value).
