two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Council are seeking to procure this framework agreement via an Open Tender Procedure and in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The Framework will provide the opportunity for the Single successful Supplier:
1. To supply, install, operate and maintain EV charge points for Cornwall Council.
2. To self-fund, build, own and operate charge points on Cornwall Council land.
3. (As an option) to operate and maintain the Council's legacy charge points.
The Framework will allow Cornwall Council to appoint the supplier to manage charge points on the Council's behalf through 10-year (plus 5-year optional extension) Operation and Maintenance contracts, which the Council will enter into as required. The Council expects to contract with the supplier to supply and install at least 150 European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grant-funded charge points during the 2022-23 financial year, at the value of £2,874,500 inclusive of a 10-year operation and maintenance concession. The Council expects most of the ERDF charge points to be deployed in Council-owned public car parks. The specific charge point locations will be identified by Cornwall Council working with the supplier based on likely customer demand/
profitability, availability of electrical supply, cost of installation, connectivity, location suitability and strategic requirement. Further Grant and/or Council-funded Charge Point Solution Call-offs for both public and fleet/workplace charge point installs are being considered. However, no further detail on the scale and/or nature of prospective call-offs are available at this time. The Council will be seeking a supplier willing to make a financial commitment to invest in self-funding commercially viable charge points either on Cornwall Council land and/or in on-street locations. The scale of the proposed investment and the level of alignment with the Council’s strategic priorities will be a consideration when awarding the Contract. Full detail is stated in the procurement documents.
