Official UK procurement notice
the provision of Installation, Operation and Maintenance of Electric Vehicle ChargePoint's through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund PROC128
Authority: Peterborough City Council (Local council)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA), alongside Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) and Peterborough City Council (PCC) have been allocated £5,437,000 of public sector money from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. The aim is to secure additional private sector funding to enable the delivery of a high number of additional electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI) across the area, above and beyond what could be delivered with just LEVI funding alone.
It is anticipated that the contract will focus on providing EVI in residential areas that have limited access to off-street parking. This may be a combination of delivery of infrastructure within communal residential car parks as well as on-street charging spaces.
It is anticipated that most of the charging infrastructure will be standard (-7-22kW). Rapid charging and public car parks operated by the local authorities will not be included within the specification, however, there may be separate opportunities with each council in due course.
