The Qualification System shall be established and maintained by the Authority. Other contracting authorities may utilise the Qualification System to facilitate call off competitions pertaining to the operation of Shared Micromobility Schemes or shared micromobility projects funded by the Authority. Each call off contract is expected to comprise of, but not limited to the following principal obligations: • Provide, operate and maintain shared micromobility vehicles, (which can include bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters and/or e-cargo bikes) for the duration of the respective call-off contract; • Provide, operate and maintain a secure e-commerce platform for the duration of the respective call-off contract; • Operate a reliable and safe shared micromobility service as set out in the call-off contract; and • Promote the use of shared micromobility to encourage user demand.
