- North East Lincolnshire Borough Council
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-058e07
Description
The UK Government's Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) has introduced the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund which will support Local Authorities (LAs) in England in working with the chargepoint industry to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure.
This infrastructure will primarily be used to help residents without off-street parking to access affordable and reliable electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints.
The LEVI Capital fund aims to:
- Deliver a step-change in the deployment of local, primarily low power, on-street charging infrastructure across England; and
- Accelerate the commercialisation of, and investment in, the local charging infrastructure sector
Reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment is at the forefront of the North East Lincolnshire Borough Council (the Authority) transport agenda. EV's play an important role in reducing carbon emissions; therefore, it is vital that the Authority can offer an effective EV Charging Infrastructure, that is equitable and accessible to all Residents within North East Lincolnshire.
The Authority is seeking to appoint ChargePoint Operators (Service Providers) to undertake the supply, installation, maintenance, support and management, of the Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCP's) and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) Phase 2, that offers Residents on- street and off-street charging solutions.
The Service Providers will also provide a Charge Point Management System (Management System) - Back Office software solution for Authority and a website service or mobile application (App/ Web solution) allowing Residents to initiate and control the charging of an EV and make payment
The Authority has been awarded a maximum grant allocation of £1,431,000 through the LEVI fund to support the delivery of Phase 2 of the Authority's EVCP's and EVCI Programme. It's anticipated that Phase 2 of the EVCP's and EVCI programme will run alongside Phase 1.
The Authority are seeking to enter into a long-term concessionary-based contract, for the duration of a 15-year term, with the option to extend for a further 1 year beyond the initial term.
Tenderers should be aware that the total contract value is estimated and based upon usage and uptake of the EVCP's and EVCI within the borough. The value can increase or decrease and is not guaranteed.
The Authority is conducting this tender using a Competitive Flexible procedure. The competitive flexible procedure is split into two (2) stages:
Stage 1 - Invitation to tender
Tenderers that
Stage 2 - Demonstration
