Cardiff Capital Region (CCR) is seeking to:
procure a single concessionaire for the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of 7kW and 22kW EV chargepoints at key off street and on street public parking locations across CCR pursuant to the terms of a discrete concession agreement (the “Concession Agreement”). The Concession Agreement will be for a period of 5 years with an option to extend by a further period of five years or succession of periods of not exceeding in total five years. Engagement from the market has indicated that this duration is appropriate as it will take up to ten years to recoup the investment required to achieve the specific contractual objectives. This includes the initial investment, the investment made during the life of the Concession Agreement and to see the full return on that investment. The Concession Agreement will initially be for a minimum of 159 dual chargepoints, one per site up to a maximum of 385 (Phase 1). However, CCR has the option (at its absolute discretion) to require further phases of development allowing it to drawn down a maximum of 645 chargepoints across a number of sites throughout the first 3 years of the Concession Agreement. The Phase 1 Sites have been chosen based on engagement with Council Officers from the CCR and the feasibility of the available power supply has been undertaken with Western Power Distribution (“WPD”). Locations: 22 hubs 137 on street or carparks. The hubs will require 7kW dual EV chargepoints and the remaining 137 sites will require 22kW dual EV chargepoints. The Concessionaire will be required to operate and maintain the installed chargers, including but not limited to warranty and maintenance support (graffiti, vandalism, abuse, accidents, theft, repair & upgrade), at its own cost and risk for the remainder of the term. The chargepoints must not incur any additional on-going cost to CCR. The installation, operation, future upgrades and maintenance of the chargepoints and all hardware, software, metering & electricity supply, back office, payment, communication (including SIM fees), and call handling systems will be taken on by the successful concessionaire at its own cost and risk without payment from CCR. Increase in connection costs are at the risk of CCR. The Concession Agreement Turnover value for 645 chargepoints over 10 years is an estimated minimum of 7,540,834 GBP and a maximum of 10,187,244 GBP.

Publisher note: CCR reserves the ability to amend locations and add additional sites and charger points (Concession Areas), for the term of the Concession Agreement in Phase 1 and any later Phases. CCR are providing the market with the minimum and maximum number of chargepoints they require for Phase 1. Minimum and maximum chargepoints will be identified for subsequent phases up to the maximum of 645. It is the intention of CCR to enter into a Concession agreement with one contractor across the ten (10) Local Authorities namely the Cardiff Capital Region: Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council Bridgend County Borough Council Caerphilly County Borough Council Cardiff Council Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Monmouthshire County Council Newport City Council Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council Torfaen County Borough Council Vale of Glamorgan Council CCR has been awarded funding by the Welsh Government to pay for the WPD connection costs and the cost of the supply and installation of the initial 159 dual chargepoints only. CCR seeks an income via this Concession Agreement. Income from the use of the chargepoints will be shared between the concessionaire and CCR by way of a profit sharing mechanism. Appointment will be dependent on the ability of the bidder to deliver the first phase of the Concession Agreement in full, in which all charge points are installed, operational and available and registered on the National Chargepoint Registry (stating the chargepoints are for public use) by 11th September 2022. The change in this date from the previously published 31 March 2022 has been assessed by CCR to be not substantial for the purposes of Regulation 88(1)(e)/(7) of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 as none of the five conditions set out therein are met.
