Extension of the contracts with Zipcar (UK) Ltd for Fixed Point and Flexible car sharing services

24/02/2021 - Extension of the contracts with Zipcar (UK) Ltd for Fixed Point and Flexible car sharing services

Recommendations

 

1             The Cabinet Member for City Management approved the extension of the contract for Fixed Point car sharing starting from 1st July 2021 to 30th June 2022. 

2             The Cabinet Member for City Management approved the extension of the contract for Flexible car sharing from 1st July 2021 to 30th June 2022.

 

Reasons for Decision

 

1.     The proposed extension of the contracts by one year is due to the resilience and good performance that Zipcar has demonstrated especially considering the impact that Covid-19 has had on the service. It will also allow sufficient time to procure a broad service incorporating three models of car sharing to increase the number of available vehicles to residents, introduce competition to the market and meet the financial shortfall generated by the departure of Drive Now from the UK market.
