COV - Supply and Operation of Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure within the City of Coventry

Please note - this is not a live tender and is intended to serve as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to a potential upcoming Procurement. The PIN replaces a previous PIN (Notice reference: 2023/S 000-015746) that has expired and was not acted upon. Coventry City Council is preparing for a future procurement in relation to establishing new Electric Vehicle Infrastructure within the City of Coventry. This is anticipated to be part funded by the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Pilot scheme from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) with the remaining funding supplied by the awarded supplier. The procurement will award a concession contract for a supplier to create four EV charging hubs in residential areas of Coventry where a high proportion of homes do not have access to off-street parking. The four sites will offer EV charging facilities with some of the sites also providing e-mobility vehicles for the general public to be able to hire for their use. Two of the proposed sites for these are public car parks, while the other two are community facilities, which are currently used by staff and visitors during the day but are unused at night. The proposal will see the car parks attached to the community facilities opened to residents for overnight EV charging. The Council will be seeking tender submissions for a single supplier or consortium to deliver all of the requirements outlined in this PIN notice. The single supplier / consortium will need to evidence its ability to deliver all of the requirements. The supplier / consortium may subcontract elements of the requirements but the supplier / consortium will be contractually responsible for the delivery of all of the requirements.
