Published requirement description

The UK Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund supports local authorities in England to work with the chargepoint industry, to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. These public chargepoints will help residents who don’t have access to off-street parking and need to charge their electric vehicles (EVs). The LEVI Capital fund aims to:

  • deliver a step-change in the deployment of local, primarily low power, on-street charging infrastructure across England
  • accelerate the commercialisation of, and investment in, the local charging infrastructure sector

West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) on behalf of the 7 constituent Local Authority (LA) areas of the West Midlands are seeking providers of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EVI) to deliver and manage a range of EVI solutions that will support its residents without the ability to charge off-street at home from their own residential electricity supply.

WMCA intends to enter into Concession Contracts with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) or other parties that will fund and deliver the required services, namely a network of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging spaces that meet the needs of local residents and demonstrably support the WMCA’s and constituent LAs’ EVI strategies, in-line with the requirements of the LEVI funding.

  • How the procedure runs: This Competitive Flexible Procedure procurement will be conducted over 2 stages. The first stage is the request to participate which will involve completion and submission of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). This stage is being used to down-select interested suppliers to invite to tender. Prospective Bidders who pass all Conditions of Participation included within the PSQ will have their Technical and Professional Ability questions scored to give a Total Score for their PSQ. Prospective Bidders will be ranked by Total Score in each Lot they have requested to tender for and WMCA will invite the top 6 ranked prospective bidders in each Lot to tender. The second stage is the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. The ITT will be issued to the top 6 ranked prospective bidders for each Lot. Following the tender submission deadline, the evaluation panel will evaluate all tenders and WMCA will award contracts to the highest scoring tenderer for each Lot.

How it runs

This Competitive Flexible Procedure procurement will be conducted over 2 stages.

The first stage is the request to participate which will involve completion and submission of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). This stage is being used to down-select interested suppliers to invite to tender. Prospective Bidders who pass all Conditions of Participation included within the PSQ will have their Technical and Professional Ability questions scored to give a Total Score for their PSQ. Prospective Bidders will be ranked by Total Score in each Lot they have requested to tender for and WMCA will invite the top 6 ranked prospective bidders in each Lot to tender.

The second stage is the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. The ITT will be issued to the top 6 ranked prospective bidders for each Lot. Following the tender submission deadline, the evaluation panel will evaluate all tenders and WMCA will award contracts to the highest scoring tenderer for each Lot.
