Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Support and Implementation Services Contract

The Contracting Authority wish to procure a contract with a three (3) year initial term which includes the provision to extend by (1) year at the Authority's discretion. This Contract will ensure the successful conclusion of the existing grant schemes through continued support to LAs and stakeholders who are moving into the delivery and operational phase of their Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EVI) projects.

The need to draw upon insights from the 3 capital schemes to shape future policy and practical delivery of EVI is a key component to this new Contract. We require a Supplier who has flexibility in approach and delivery, who can deliver against multiple policy streams and has the ability and expertise to pivot workstreams in response to policy priorities.

The Contract will be primarily focused on delivering ongoing EVI implementation guidance, knowledge and training support and resources to LAs and public organisations. The primary deliverables for year 1, in brief are as follows: 1) Ongoing LEVI contract review and implementation support. 2) Ongoing ORCS project completion support. 3) EV Pavement Channels (EVPC) implementation support, supporting the EVPC grant.

4) Knowledge support for implementation of EVI for social housing providers (SHPs). 5) Ongoing EVI implementation training available for EVI officers at public sector organisations, primarily at LAs.
