The programme is budgeted at £3,000,000 and targets the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Currently in the planning stage, this market engagement seeks input from potential suppliers and is open until 17:00 on 7th February 2025, with the contract period anticipated to start on 1st September 2025 and end on 1st February 2027. The procurement method is an open procedure (above threshold), classified under CPV code 34144900 for electric vehicles.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the electric vehicle sector, especially those that can offer innovative solutions for community car clubs and EV charge points. Companies with expertise in logistical operations and electric Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs) for business trials in the region will find this project particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their agility to provide tailored solutions for on-street and community-based EV initiatives. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can expand their footprint in the growing electric vehicle market and establish a long-term partnership with Kirklees Council.

Electric Trial Vehicle

Notice Description

Kirklees Council are undertaking a programme (Kirklees Innovative EV Programme) through City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) funding with two core elements: (1) A trial of innovative on-street residential EV charge point solutions, attentive to the contextual challenges of such infrastructure provision in Kirklees (e.g. terraced housing and lack of council land/highway space for provision). (2) A community-based electric vehicle car club-style trial for residents and businesses to address barriers to adoption, enabling behavioural change and facilitating EV transition. The whole programme is approximately PS3m. We are unable to determine yet the proportion of each element. This pre-market engagement focuses upon the second part of the programme. It seeks to gain logistical understandings of potential operation from Car-Club operators, as well as indicative cost estimates.

It is envisaged that this will take a community-based 'car club' on-street model over a fixed one-year period commencing late Summer 2025 and must include electric LGVs for business trials in the region.
