Notice Title

Motorway Service Areas Energy Storage Systems

Notice Description

National Highways will be procuring a NEC 4 Engineering Construction Contract (ECC) for a duration of up to 2 years (and is approximately from 11/10/22 to 10/10/24), for the supply and installation of Energy Storage Systems throughout England. The procurement route to be used will be the Crown Commercial Service's Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets Dynamic Purchasing System and tenders are programmed to be invited in April 2022. The solution is to deliver temporary provision of supplementary electricity capacity as well as load balancing (decreasing demands on the permanent electricity networks) without upgrade of supply, in accordance with National Highways' standards and objectives. This contract will contribute to the Government's commitment of a minimum of six high powered electric vehicle charge points at all Motorway Service Areas (MSA) in England by the end of 2023, by enabling rollout at locations where existing DNO (Distribution Network Operator) or National Grid capacity is insufficient to support delivering the commitment within the required timescales, up to the value of PS8.83m (excluding VAT) and where the cost of adding new capacity is commercially unviable.
