Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure On Street Electric Vehicle Charging Installations

Description

RBWM has been awarded Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding from the Department for Transport. The purpose of this funding is to support new concession contracts for on-street charging within RBWM. RBWM has decided to divide this funding into two equal amounts, each to support one of two new area-based concession contracts in the borough. These contracts will be awarded through a single procurement, each contract to be won by a different supplier.



As concession contracts, the borough is looking to partner with chargepoint operators that will bring in significant private investment of their own throughout the life of the contract to provide charging solutions for residents across their concession area. Private investment should very substantially exceed the value of the grant funding. The Chargepoint Operator will be responsible for securing overall funding and financing for their capital investment and will need to provide suitable assurance within their bid of suitable funding and financing arrangements for the chargepoint sites that they commit to deliver.



The purpose of the grant funding is to accelerate wider private investment in an on-street charging network - ensuring chargepoints are in place ahead of time ready to meet and further induce growing demand. The LEVI capital funding will contribute towards the cost of:

Chargepoint hardware
Chargepoint installation
Upgraded or new grid connections, including the local connection from feeder pillar to charging assets
Works to the highway to reconfigure existing or create new parking spaces and/or parking restrictions, including but not limited to signs and lining
Introducing or amending Traffic Regulation Orders or parking restrictions
Licenses, approvals, permits, and local authority planning fees relating to installation (where needed)

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
