## Description
Blackpool Council (The Authority) and its Wholly Owned transport company, Blackpool Transport Services (BTS) submitted a joint submission to the Department for Transport to secure Zero Emission Bus Regional Area (ZEBRA) grant funding in order to replace the existing diesel fleet with electric buses.
As a result, the Authority and BTS will be undertaking significant modification of the existing depot to ensure that it is fit for purpose and meets the future vision for BTS. The depot will be fitted out with electric vehicle charging infrastructure, ready to house the new fleet of electric buses. The Chargers in use will be a DC system.
The Authority is looking to appoint a Contractor, under a JCT Design & Build 2016 contract, to provide full turnkey delivery of this project including design, installation, commissioning, ongoing operations and maintenance.
