📢 Call for expressions of interest

The aim of this procedure is to select an operator for the rental of electrically-assisted bicycles (EABs) and/or electric scooters and/or electric scooters on a self-service basis, without a physical docking station, prior to signing temporary public domain occupation agreements - subject to a fee - directly with the municipalities concerned.

The AMI is made up of three lots according to the type of machine. PMMCU wishes to retain :

  • Lot n°1: electric scooters ;
  • Lot no. 2: electric-assist bicycles ;
  • Lot n°3: electric scooters.

Only one operator may operate each activity. The same operator may apply to operate one, two or three different types of equipment, and must submit a separate application for each type of equipment - and therefore for each lot. The same operator may be awarded several lots. Bids will be considered separately. The bicycle offer must consist solely of electrically-assisted bicycles.

The application file in response to the call for expressions of interest will enable candidates to draw up their proposals. It comprises the present consultation rules and, in appendix, the parking and limited-speed zones proposed by the communes of Baixas, Le Barcarès, Cabestany, Pollestres, Ponteilla-Nyls, Saint-Féliu d'Avall, Torreilles and Toulouges. They may be supplemented and modified during the operational implementation phase. 

PMMCU has decided to launch a competitive bidding process, the schedule for which is subject to change, as follows:

  • Launch of call for expressions of interest: Week 22
  • Deadline for responses: June 29, 2023 - 4 p.m.
  • Tender analysis based on the following criteria: weeks 27 / 28 / 29
  • Optional negotiation phase: weeks 27 / 28
  • Choice of service provider: week 30

Candidates must send their application by digital means only, with a download link, by sending an email with acknowledgement of receipt to :

The title of the email should read as follows: "DOSSIER - AMI FLOTTE LIBRE - [NOM CANDIDAT]". The body of the email must specify: the link for downloading application documents, the summary of downloadable application documents.

PMMCU reserves the right, but not the obligation, to negotiate with candidates. Depending on the number of bids received, or on scheduling difficulties related to the reception of the operator(s), this date for selecting the service provider may be subject to change. 

F.A.Q AMI Free-floating gear

Yes, the relevance of the deployment will be assessed through the "Vehicle deployment strategy (saturation/empty; territory density)
" indicator. The applicant operator is expected to propose a fleet size adapted to the characteristics and needs of the municipality.

Appendices may be added up to a total of 20 pages.

The fee itself is not a criterion for analysis. It derives from the pricing structure, the commercial offer and the deployment strategy proposed by the applicant.

It can indeed be used to facilitate analysis of the offer.

The organizational brief will also be graded, since it presents elements
corresponding to the criteria and indicators in the table on page 14. The structure
of the briefs may follow that of the evaluation table to facilitate
the analysis of the bid, but this is neither compulsory nor an evaluation criterion in
itself.

The presentation brief will also be graded, since it presents elements
corresponding to the criteria and indicators in the table on page 14. The structure of the
briefs may follow that of the evaluation table to facilitate the analysis
of the offer, but this is neither compulsory nor an evaluation criterion in itself.

The choice of parking spaces will be validated by the Commune concerned. The operator is responsible for marking the parking spaces on the ground.

The provisional timetable (article 4.1) calls for the operator
to be appointed in week 30, plus the time required for the AOTs to be issued by the Communes.

Apart from the format and accuracy of the data, the nature of the data concerns, for example, the availability of equipment and the journeys made (origin/destination as well as tracks). Generally speaking, all "static, historical and dynamic travel data, including data relating to the location of available vehicles, cycles and personal transport equipment" will be of interest, in accordance with article L.1115-1 of the French Transport Code, for the purposes of studying usage. This information must be sent at least once every three months for municipalities with a year-round service, and once a month for those with a seasonal service.

9 Communes have specified their expectations, a summary of which can be found in Appendix 2 of the RC. For the other communes, the candidate operator is expected to propose a fleet size adapted to the characteristics and needs of the commune.

The table of criteria and indicators on page 14 serves as a basis for objective evaluation
of the offers received. Certain economic or commercial elements,
such as the "Pricing and commercial offer" indicator, are directly
evaluated as such.
