Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is planning a tender titled "Future Energy Trials - Electricity Generation" in the Petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy category. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 2022-09-09. Potential suppliers are invited to provide services for an electricity generation system to support Electrical Vehicles (EVs) charging. The trial aims to use green renewable energy sources to address the limited electric infrastructure around MOD areas.

This tender by the Ministry of Defence presents an opportunity for SMEs with expertise in providing fast vehicle recharge speeds using green energy sources. Businesses located in regions like East Midlands, South East, and South West of the United Kingdom are well-suited to compete. The Ministry of Defence is looking for suitably skilled suppliers to support the trial project, which aims to supplement existing networks with green energy sources until an improved electrical power grid for EVs is in place.

Notice Title

Future Energy Trials - Electricity Generation

Notice Description

To install a system providing fast charge electricity to cars using green, renewable energy sources at locations where electric supply infrastructure is poor or non-existent. System to be easily deployable, without significant reliance on infrastructure. If the initial unit trial is successful, it would be widened to include several UK dispersed locations over the following phased approach. Phase 1 will be a proof of concept at a single location. Phase 2 and 3 will be an expansion of the capability with geographically dispersed sites. The Defence Support Team, part of Strategic Command within the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), wish to inform potential suppliers of an intended procurement to acquire services of a suitably skilled and qualified supplier to undertake a trial for an electricity generation system. It must be readily available and have the capability to provide fast vehicle recharge speeds using green renewable energy sources. Initial trial would be to recharge 5 cars concurrently, although this could be amended depending on the technology. This RFI Notice has been published, as an initial enquiry only, to obtain information from potential suppliers and/or independent experts to develop a robust requirement and procurement/commercial strategy. This RFI is not a commitment to launch a formal procurement procedure or to ask potential suppliers to express an interest in the requirement. Context Brief: Electric infrastructure to support Electrical Vehicles (EVs) charging is limited in areas around the MOD estate. This system is to supplement the existing network until the modernised EV supporting electrical power grid has been established. The system has to be powered by green sources to meet MOD Net Zero policy Please respond via the DSP: - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=54748 or email Paul.Hayes105@mod.gov.uk
