📋 Tender Overview
In August 2023, the Free State of Bavaria officially introduced the JobBike leasing offer "JobBike Bayern" - with complete success. Since then, more than 15,000 civil servants and collective bargaining employees have purchased bicycles via the platform of the service provider Deutsche Dienstrad, and there have been over 50,000 registrations.
Bavaria's Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter: "The bicycle is often the fastest means of transport, especially for short distances. It also keeps you fit and protects the climate. We are therefore not only promoting cycling throughout Bavaria, but are also setting a good example ourselves."
Bavaria's Minister of Finance and Home Affairs Albert Füracker is also very satisfied with the results so far: "By offering JobBike leasing, the Free State is strengthening its role model function in climate protection and as a modern and attractive employer. The high demand proves that we are absolutely right with the fully digital offer on the Employee Service Bavaria portal."
The entire ordering and processing process is fully digital and automated via the Employee Service Bavaria portal in combination with the German company bike "MobilityHub" or directly at the local specialist dealer. In detail, the "JobBike Bavaria" offer enables employees to purchase a bicycle of their choice via a salary conversion. All bicycles of all brands and models that are approved for road traffic are available to choose from. The offer applies to active civil servants and judges in all departments of the state government, the university hospitals and the Bavarian State Forests. Since November 1, 2023, the job bike leasing offer has also been available to collective bargaining employees who fall under the TV-L and are among the participating employers. These include the Free State of Bavaria, the Bavarian State Forests, the University Hospitals of Würzburg, Erlangen and Regensburg as well as the clinics of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and rechts der Isar of the TU Munich.
"As an innovation and technology leader with Bavarian roots, we are of course very proud that the state's employees are making such good use of sustainable, environmentally friendly and climate-friendly mobility through the offer of company bike leasing. With the complete digitization and automation of processes, the state of Bavaria is leading the way in this important topic," explains Managing Director Maximilian Diem, adding: "We at Deutsche Dienstrad are taking an active role in digitization and the mobility transition - and we are doing so in close cooperation with the public service!"
“JobBike Bayern” is part of Bavaria’s cycling policy. This includes, for example, the Bavarian Cycling Act, which came into force on August 1, 2023 and has been under implementation since then. This stipulates, for example, that the Free State, together with the municipalities, will create 1,500 kilometers of new cycle paths by 2030.
