Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

The Authority is seeking expressions of interest for the provision of an Electric Vehicle Charging managed service within the Essentia delivery group (Essentia | Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (guysandstthomas.nhs.uk) of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT).

The Authority is committed to delivering sustainable healthcare for our patients and community and we are keen to actively protect the environment and planet that we all depend on. We recently initiated our Sustainability Strategy 2021 – 2031 which has three strategic themes: i) carbon zero; ii) connecting with nature; and iii) cycle of resources.

In efforts to achieve one of our fundamental objectives, to reach carbon neutrality, we seek to reduce the transport emissions created by our fleet vehicles. The Authority currently has approximately 250 vehicles on its core fleet (excluding salary sacrifice and grey fleet vehicles) comprising c.70 minibuses, c.100 cars, c.80 vans etc. We aim to electrify all of these vehicles by 2031. In order to support this electrification, the Authority must also install the necessary infrastructure.
