Supply of E-Bikes for University of Limerick Inclusive Cycling Project

The University of Limerick seeks to procure up to 80 e-bikes, GPS trackers, and associated equipment for the Inclusive Sustainable Cycling 2 (ISCycle2) project, which aims to widen equity in e-bike use among underserved communities. Approximately 40 bikes will be loaned to parents with children attending DEIS primary schools and to adults aged 65 and older in lower-income areas. The procurement requires a diverse mix of bike types to meet different user needs: child-capable bikes with passenger capacity for parents, step-through and trike designs for accessibility, and lightweight folding bikes for space-constrained storage. Suppliers should note the project's focus on affordability and practicality for lower-income participants who may lack dedicated storage space in apartments, duplexes, or terraced housing. Bids should demonstrate value for money while meeting these specific design and usability requirements.
