Description
The Milton Keynes City Council has been allocated £1.442M OZEV LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) Capital funding to expand our network of low power, on-street charging infrastructure. We are fairly advanced in our coverage of EV chargers, so this funding is proposed to fill the gaps in our residential network coverage including economically deprived and rural areas. The LEVI funding will be used to deliver the low power infrastructure in the more challenging economic locations, co-located with fully service provider funded high power residential solutions. With a combination of LEVI funding and private sector funding we are proposing to deliver around 101 charge points per tendered Lot across four geographically split Lots.
The procurement has been divided in four lots: Blue lot, Green Lot, Orange Lot and Red Lot.
The Council intends to procure a service provider for each lot, to operate, maintain, replace and develop the Councils electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVI) as a Public Private Commercial Partnership in a concession contract under the new Procurement Regulations 2023. It will be a 15 year contract period and will require the supplier to pay Milton Keynes City Council a yearly fee.
Open Market Engagement was conducted in August 2023 and September 2024.
