                "description": "In alignment with the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland's vision for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI), the Glasgow City Region(GCR) member authorities aim to support the expansion of a comprehensive network of publicly accessible EVCI across the region. This expansion will be driven by leveraging private sector expertise and capital. It creates a charging network that complements standalone private investment beyond the scope of this initiative. In doing so, GCR aims to work with a CPO through a concession contract that will deliver a comprehensive, convenient, reliable and accessible charging network that meets the needs of users. The CPO will install, own, maintain and operate the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and any Ancillary Equipment other than that which the Member Authorities have a regulatory duty to adopt. The CPO will be entitled to charge Electric Vehicle Owners for use of the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure. The CPO will be responsible for financing the costs of designing, purchasing, installing, operating, maintaining and upgrading of EV infrastructure net of any capital funding made available to the CPO by the council through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund or with the local authorities of the GCR as may be agreed with them on an ad-hoc basis. The contract will include: i.The migration of 627 chargepoints across 305 locations for standard, fast and rapid chargepoints onto the CPO's back-office system.This will require to take place within a 3-month period in order to meet the deadline of the ending of the Charge Place Scotland service. ii. Installation and operation of a minimum of 3,034 additional chargepoints on sites owned or controlled by the MAs (car parks and on-street locations) to be agreed between the MAs and CPO following contract award. To ensure the equitable geographic deployment of new charge points throughout GCR, the deployment programme will require to be undertaken across the 8 MAs at an annual rate proportionate to a MA's population share within GCR so that the delivery does not favour one geographic area over another.It may also include the installation of additional sites which can be requested by the Lead Authority or proposed by the CPO. Completion timeline period for the new installation of the 3,034 additional charge points is expected to be up to 5 years from contract signing. The contract term will be 20 years. Turnover - at the present time it is estimated that the turnover, over the 20-year contract term and based on an assumption of inflation at 2.5% per annum, will be in the region of GBP 785 million (excluding VAT). Grant Funding - Glasgow City Council, on behalf of the 8 MAs has been allocated a grant of up to GBP 3,300,000 from Transport Scotland's Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund to in connection with the delivery of the project. Bidders are requested to review Document Two - Invitation to Participate which contains the details of the minimum requirements for this procurement within section 3.",

The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of dispatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 50 of the Concessions Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 (\"the Regulations\"). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.",
