two.1.4) Short description
Hampshire County Council is currently planning for future on-street electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This is likely to be delivered under a concession contract on a 15+1 year basis, and potentially supported by approximately £6.6m funding from the Local Electrical Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) grant.
Coverage across Hampshire is anticipated to require approximately 55,021 standard charging units, 4,206 fast charging units, 1,700 rapid charging units, 590 ultra-rapid charging units by 2040, as forecast by the NEVIS toolkit.
Therefore the infrastructure delivery will be achieved through the LEVI grant fund and private investment.
To assist the County Council with planning this infrastructure delivery, we are seeking responses from suppliers to build on our understanding of this market. We would therefore be grateful if you could take the time to complete and return our questionnaire to the County Council by 12 noon on 22 April 2024.
Please ensure you have registered on our e-tendering Portal In-Tend (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire/aspx), in order to be able to access and return our questionnaire.
Once registered, please search for the project ref UN23287 ( or follow this direct link to the market engagement opportunity https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire/aspx/ProjectManage/23287 )
