Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Beyond Off Street - Smart Meter EV Charging SBRI" is initiated by the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) based in London, UK. This programme aims to innovate the functionality of smart metering in relation to electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint devices, with a particular focus on applications in on-street and workplace settings. The current stage of the procurement is in the tender process, with the deadline for submission set for 29th May 2020 at noon. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 30th June 2020 and will extend until 28th February 2022. The procurement follows an open method, classified under the category of services, specifically within the electric vehicles industry segment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses seeking to expand in the growing electric vehicle infrastructure market. Organisations that design, manufacture, or test electric vehicle charging equipment, particularly those with expertise in smart metering technology and IoT solutions, would be well-positioned to compete. The programme encourages consortium bids, allowing smaller enterprises and innovative tech start-ups to partner with larger firms, thereby enhancing their chances of success in this competitive landscape.

Notice Title

Beyond Off Street - Smart Meter EV Charging SBRI

Notice Description

****UPDATED 07/05 -SEE REVISED RESPONSE DATES IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SECTION BELOW ****UPDATED 01/05****SEE REVISED NOTIFICATION DATES IN NEW ITT DOCUMENT ***UPDATED 08/04 - SEE REVISED RESPONSE DATES IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SECTION BELOW This programme aims to innovate around the use of smart metering to design, test, manufacture and trial EV chargepoint devices that can perform smart charging in a context beyond the existing smart meter roll out scope. The target contexts for these devices are on-street charging outside the home, and workplace charging. Other contexts will be considered, so long as they are outside the existing smart meter roll out scope which comprises home and microbusiness off-street contexts. The programme's aim is to demonstrate that the smart metering system provides a holistic and long-term solution for electric vehicle smart charging, one which can deliver in a range of charging contexts. Background This programme contributes to policy objectives set out in the Government's EV Smart Charging consultation , which outlines the Government's approach and objectives for smart charging of EVs and, seeks evidence on a charging solution. The long-term EV smart charging solution needs to meet four policy objectives: grid protection (including cyber security), consumer protection (including interoperability and data privacy), innovation and consumer uptake (of both EVs and smart chargepoints). The smart meter system was proposed by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) as the lead option for non-public EV smart charging, based on its established ability to deliver load control in a way which minimises risks to consumers and the wider electricity system. Smart metering's current scope extends only to domestic and microbusinesses however, while a long-term solution for smart charging must deliver in a broader range of settings, including public smart charging. This programme aims to show that smart metering can perform smart charging in a range of contexts outside the current scope. Outputs of the programme will include: Phase 1 Development * Design of a charge point which can operate in the relevant contexts (to be chosen by the service provider) and interface with the smart metering system, acting on load control messages sent via this system. * Manufacture of the device at test scale (10). * Successful testing and issue resolution - demonstration that the device, in simulation conditions, can operate smart EV chargepoints in contexts other than domestic and microbusiness. Phase 2 Trial * Trial of the device in the chosen relevant context(s) at scale of ~100 devices. BEIS is procuring up to 2 projects against this invitation to tender. See detail below on registering an interest in this programme and registering an intention to submit a Tender. Additional information: **Extended deadlines (updated 07/05)*** Due to the current Covid-19 circumstance, BEIS is implementing a final extension of two weeks to the deadline previously advised, for the submission of bids. The revised deadline is now 29th May 2020 at 12:00PM (Noon). The notification of outcomes will now likewise be delayed by two weeks in order to provide thorough assessment and moderation of applications. Applicants can expect Notification of Outcome letters week commencing 22/06/2020. Contract Award is expected to be completed in July 2020. **Extended Deadlines** (Updated 08/04/20) Email smartmeterspmo@beis.gov.uk: Please also see a link to the SMIPS programme web page, where more information can be found (Q&A, ITT briefing webinar audio file and presentation pack): https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smart-meter-enabled-electric-vehicle-ev-charging-trial-beyond-off-street ****************** Other information We intend to hold a briefing and networking event for potential applicants, to present the programme and answer questions about the tendering process, and to give interested parties the opportunity to identify and meet potential partners.
