Authority: Milton Keynes City Council (Local council)
What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Milton Keynes City Council (the "Council") has been allocated £1.442M OZEV LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) Capital funding to expand our network of low power, on-street charging infrastructure. We are fairly advanced in our coverage of EV chargers, so this funding is proposed to fill the gaps in our residential network coverage including economically deprived and rural areas. The LEVI funding will be used to deliver the low power infrastructure in the more challenging economic locations, co-located with fully service provider funded high power residential solutions. An Open Tender exercise has resulted in one successful tenderer for two out of the four lots being procured. The successful tenderer will enter into 15 year concession contract with the Council. The contract will be to operate, maintain, replace and develop the Councils electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVI) as a Public Private Commercial Partnership in a concession contract.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 18 Jan 2039, 23:59 GMT.
