Description
Initial Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire exercise for charge point network and infrastructure on the Isle of Wight.
The initial preliminary market engagement closing date for expression of interest
14:00 hrs - 12/06/2025.
The Authority has been awarded £1.625m LEVI funding from the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund.
The Authority wishes to award a single concession contract for a supplier to install and operate an affordable and easy to use, reliable and widely accessible and recognisable Electric Vehicle (EV) charge point network across the Isle of Wight (the 'Contract')
The form of contract has been developed in alignment with the LEVI Heads of Terms.
The Authority will be looking for a supplier who can demonstrate a commitment to maximising the use of the LEVI funding and deliver an ambitious project with a full solution offering end to end services.
It would be the intention that the successful supplier would invest its own resources, to be used in conjunction with the LEVI funding, to significantly increase the number of public chargepoints available on the public highway network across the island.
The project will involve the deployment of local, primarily low powered on street charging infrastructure which must focus on locations that serve residential communities and those residents that do not have access to off road car parking.
The supplier will be required to deliver all aspects of the goods, services and works needed for the Project, which will include purchasing relevant Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI), connecting it to the grid and maintaining, upgrading and managing the operation of the chargepoint network across a 15-year term.
