## Description
This is a Preliminary Market Engagement Exercise - this not a tendering opportunity or a call for competition.
Abri’s growing footprint and ambition is likely to create an opportunity for the development of an expansive EVCE (Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment) Ecosystem/Infrastructure partner. 
A degree of market engagement and strategic development for the ideal contracting environment has already been conducted, however additional work is now required to test existing thinking and to finalise the procurement strategy and finalise our requirement(s).
Therefore, Abri is conducting early market testing/engagement to understand supplier capabilities and gather feedback on potential solutions for implementing an Electric Vehicle (EV) ecosystem across our properties and operations. This includes charging infrastructure, software, maintenance, and integration with energy systems.
This engagement is NOT a call for competition and does NOT form part of a formal procurement process. Responses will inform the development of our strategy, specification and how we approach the market when we do procure.
This is a market testing/engagement exercise, as such, there is no guarantee of any business following review of any submission by an organisation expressing interest.
Abri reserves the right to terminate this market engagement at any time, without liability to any organisation.
