Gloucestershire EV Charging Infrastructure Services (GEVIS) - LEVI
Notice Description
Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) is seeking to award a concession contract to a competent organisation for the provision of Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) services across the County, including hardware equipment and installation, software, and associated operation, maintenance and management services, to support the implementation of a county-wide Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network providing equity of provision mainly to residents, while also supporting business and visitors. The contract will operate for 15 years with the option to extend by 1 year, subject to the contract's terms and conditions in relation to performance and termination events. GCC has secured PS2.175M of funding under the UK Government's Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) programme for GCC's LEVI Phase 2 concession contract and is also prepared to invest PS0.350M of GCC capital, a total of PS2.525M. GCC's tender requirements will evaluate proposals from potential concessionaires for optimising additional investment into maximising the on-street EVCP in Gloucestershire, to meet and exceed the density requirements set out in the ITT. The EVCP funded by LEVI's Phase 2 funding will foremost be for on-street residential use. LEVI funds are supported and administered by the UK Government's Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). The award of the concession contract and funding disbursement thereunder must satisfy OZEV funding requirements and the concession contract conditions. As well as on-street charging (on the public highway), GCC may require EVCP installation and service provision on land occupied by GCC or, further to the concession contract terms, GCC Cluster Member organisations (as described below). GCC have an existing revenue generating charging network of On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) and LEVI Phase 1 chargepoints. GCC require the successful contractor to discuss the adoption of existing assets in line with the relevant terms of the concession contract, that would be subject to mutual commercial agreement between the successful concessionaire and GCC. The successful concessionaire must provide end-to-end EVCP installation and operational services including, but not limited to, design, planning, pre-installation and civil engineering works, the provision of hardware, software, energy supply, customer payments and interfaces and all associated maintenance and operational activity. The concessionaire must be capable of delivery of all elements and have fully controlled contract management of its supply chain. GCC will be the contracting authority that enters into the concession contract with the successful concessionaire. The concession contract is expressed to allow the provision of EVCP services in relation to sites owned or occupied by GCC or Cluster members, or where GCC or a Cluster member permits the use of a site by another organisation in the exercise of one of its functions or permitted activities, or has transferred a site further to a community asset transfer or community right to bid policy or process. GCC and any Cluster members as described below in the Description of Procurement, may bring additional opportunities that fall outside of the LEVI funded arrangements during the contract period. GCC's estimated total value of the concession over its maximum possible term takes account of the following factors and opportunities : * The investment and funding provided by GCC and LEVI funding, described above * Funding expected to be contributed by the concessionaire (the level of this funding will be an element of tenders invited by GCC further to, and evaluated in accordance with, the procurement documents) * The potential adoption of existing EVCP infrastructure described above * Certain assumptions about take-up and use of EVCPs, detailed in the procurement documents * Maximal adoption of the concession contract by Gloucestershire Cluster members as described above.
