Notice Description

The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) seeks a supplier to conduct an audit of domestic chargepoint installations, funded through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), by making on-site visits to carry out technical/electrical inspections at the addresses of a sample of domestic chargepoint installations and reviewing the processes used by installers. 3.2 Desk checks and on-site visit checks are required for a sample of installations completed under the above-mentioned scheme. 3.3 On-site visit checks will be conducted by experienced and qualified electrical inspectors. This experience will consist of time served as a qualified electrician and time served as an electrical inspector. 3.4 The minimum qualifications are C&G 2391 & 2392, C&G 2360 Part 1 and 2 with AM1 & 2 or equivalents. The electrical inspectors need to be conversant with the theoretical intentions of the technical specifications for installations of charge points. The supplier shall audit 5% of installations that are successfully awarded an EVHS grant during the time of the contract. This is predicted to be between 150 and 250 on-site visit checks per month. OLEV will provide the supplier with a monthly list comprising details of 10% of domestic charge point installations for that period and any additional installations that they require to be audited.
