Oxfordshire Micromobility scheme

Oxfordshire County Council (the Council) and its partners are inviting Tenders for the

delivery of a 24-month e-scooter and e-bike hire service - the Oxfordshire Micromobility

Scheme - to commence 1st October 2026, with an option to extend for up to a further 24

months. The Oxfordshire Micromobility Scheme has two components: 1. A hire e-scooter

and e-bike scheme covering central Oxfordshire (so including Oxford and surrounding

areas, for example, Abingdon, Botley, Horspath, Kennington, Kidlington and Wheatley). 2.

Hire e-bike trials across the Science Vale area , and separately, Bicester. The Council is seeking to appoint a sole operator to provide both e-scooters and e-bikes for hire in

Oxfordshire, with the Oxfordshire Micromobility Scheme contract replacing the current e-scooter contract and the e-bike voluntary Code of Conduct . The objectives of the

Oxfordshire Micromobility Scheme are to: Support safe commuting to work and education and health. Reduce private car usage and congestion. Contribute towards the reduction in air pollution and carbon emissions. Monitor and improve perceptions

and attitudes towards micromobility. Deliver a safe and accessible alternative travel.
