two.1.4) Short description

North Northamptonshire Council ("NNC") is seeking potential providers for the delivery of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the council area. The proposed arrangement will be a Concession Contract, which includes comprehensive requirements for the provision of end-to-end services. This involves turnkey solutions for designing, planning, constructing, installing, operating, and maintaining a smart EV charging network.

NNC is adopting a portfolio approach to EV infrastructure delivery, which will include on-street installations in towns and villages in areas where households do not have access to lacking off-street parking, as well as deployments in NNC-owned public car park sites.

NNC is conducting this procurement through the open procedure to identify the provider(s) for the requirement. This procurement process is being managed in accordance with The Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.

NNC proposes to enter into one (1) Contract for an initial period of 15 years (180 months) with the preferred Potential Supplier, with an option to extend for 12 months, making 192 months in total. The anticipated contract commencement date is April 11, 2025.

A maximum public funding value of £5,000,000 (five million pounds) has been identified for this concession contract. The initial public sector funding available is £2,895,000 for the delivery of the requirement as set out in the Specification (Schedule 1 Appendix 1 Specification). This should be based upon the base 15-year contract, with the core services as detailed in the tender documentation. The identification of £5,000,000 public funding provides for potential additional funding as described in the Specification in the tender documents.
