Supply Of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure And Associated Services

The Third Midlands EV Infrastructure Consortium (TMeviC), consisting of Lincolnshire County Council, Herefordshire Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Telford & Wrekin Council, came together to bid for and were successful in obtaining Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) capital funding in the amount of £10,193,700.

This procurement relates to a joint Project between Midlands Connect (Regional Sub-National Transport Authority) and the Local Authorities that make up the TMeviC. The Project aims to provide local residential charging infrastructure, through the expansion of the number of Electric Vehicle ChargePoints (EVCPs) in areas with high dependence of on-street parking.

The requirement has been split into two (2) lots - Lot 1 for slow / standard ChargePoints and Lot 2 for rapid / ultra rapid. It should be noted that Lot 1 includes provision of ChargePoints for all four Consortium members whilst Lot 2 only includes Lincolnshire County Council and Stoke on Trent City Council. LEVI funding has been allocated for each lot and there will be no additional funding provided by the TMeviC or MC, and the requirement will be procured on the basis of a concession contract.

The Consortium are seeking an Investment Partner to help fully fund a minimum of 4,500 slow / standard ChargePoint sockets (Lot 1) and 170 rapid or ultra-rapid ChargePoint sockets (Lot 2). This partner will have full responsibility for the installation and ongoing maintenance of the changepoints and will benefit from a revenue share model with each of the authorities from their ongoing operation.

Further details of the full requirement is available within the procurement documentation.
