Records regarding the signed agreement, proposals and proposed bids submitted, and scoring sheets for the competitive procurement process in 2020: Tfl_scp_002004 Micromobility Management System Pilot, Reference number: DN459680.

Please find attached a draft version of the Terms & Conditions, along with the specification which is included in the final contract.
A copy of the contract award notice is available online:
In accordance with the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply the requested submission documents and scoring sheets as this information is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information under section 43(2) – prejudice to commercial interests.
In this instance the section 43(2) exemption has been applied to as disclosure would be likely to prejudice our commercial interests as well as those of the named bidders. Disclosure of their submissions could hinder the ability of these companies being able to competitively tender for similar contracts in the future as well as hinder TfL’s ability to negotiate the best value for money for similar services in the future.
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities, but in this instance feel that balance lies in favour of withholding the requested information to ensure that the tender process remains as competitive as possible to ensure that we are able to obtain best value for public money when awarding contracts.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
