The market engagement, initiated on 23rd September 2024, seeks potential service providers for a comprehensive project to deploy 250 7-22kw chargers on public highways and dual-use chargers for both EVs and market traders. Interested suppliers must submit their responses by 1 PM on Friday, 4th October 2024. The core project involves the installation of 200 dual socket 7kw chargers in residential hubs, 50 dual socket 22kw chargers, and 25 dual-use chargers for market traders. This engagement offers a 10-year concession contract with a budget of £250,000 for dual-use chargers, and the work will take place across various identified locations within Tower Hamlets, London.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in EV charging solutions, from SMEs to large firms capable of delivering comprehensive infrastructure projects.

Notice Title

LBTH Market Engagement Questionnaire For Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Notice Description

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH) is engaging with potential service providers of EV (Electric Vehicle) charging infrastructure to contribute the borough's ambitious programme to install over 2285 new EV charging points. This market engagement relates to our aspirations for deploying a core project of 250 7-22kw chargers on the public highway and a potential project to deliver dual use chargers for EV charging (Mondays to Saturdays) and supply to market traders (Sundays). We are considering 10-year concession contract for a supplier who will be responsible for financing, supplying, installing, operating, inspecting, maintaining and decommissioning Charge Points and related infrastructure for the 250 fast chargers. There is PS250,000 available to contribute towards the delivery of the dual use EV charging/market trader supply points. Core Project The core project is the delivery of a mix of 7 and 22kw chargers across the borough and a potential project to deliver dual use chargers for EV charging 6 days of the week and supply to market traders on Sundays. The following will be required for the core project: * 200 dual socket 7kw chargers in residential hubs (4-6 chargers) * 50 dual socket 22kw chargers * 25 dual socket chargers combined with Market Trader supply (minimum of 16A not sure on kw comparison). 7kw Residential Hubs 7kw residential hubs would be in batches of 4-6 7kw chargers on residential streets with no bays dedicated for EV charging. The council intends to monitor usage and undertake local resident engagement in considering the dedication of bays later in the contract. 22kw chargers The 50 22kw double chargers would be delivered at 50 identified locations. Initially each charger will have a single dedicated charging bay. The council intends to monitor usage and undertake local resident engagement in considering the dedication of an additional bay at each site later in the contract. We have identified suitable sites for 22kw chargers and 7kw residential hubs. These are attached to this market engagement questionnaire. Market Trader Project Brick Lane and Middlesex Street Markets operate every Sunday. During market days, parking bays are used for street trading. The council has identified around locations where there is a dual requirement where EV charging (minimum of 7kw) is required for the bays from Mondays to Saturdays and there is a standard (16A) electric requirement for market traders for various uses which support the operation of their businesses. The solution is required to distinguish between the two types of use with a lower tariff for the market traders. We anticipate the potential use of an adaptor for the market traders to facilitate their lower power use requirements, potentially through a 3-pole blue commando socket Supplier Responses If you wish to respond, please complete the questionnaire below and return via the messaging section on the portal by no later than 13:00 hrs. Friday 4th October 2024
