Notice Title
26005 Electric vehicle charge point back office system and portal/application - Premarket - Business Models
Notice Description
The Council is looking to procure a Corporate wide solution of the various Electric vehicle charge points, the Council has installed over recent years. This is to simplify the management and improve the service for both the end user and Council with a responsive & dedicated customer and account managed service, and a single app to use for Council EV charge points. As this is a fairly new service, the Council is seeking advice, insights, answers to questions to help develop the specification for this service. Bidders who are interested to participate in sharing their insights and suggestion should message the Procurement lead to request the premarket engagement document and link to the online Questionnaire. The Council is keen to have a new contract in place in the last half of 2026. This is a follow up Premarket Engagement, previous notice 11th March 2026, focusing on the most suitable business model for the portfolio of EV Charge points the Council has.
Planning Information
This premarket engagement is solely focusing on Business Models. The premarket engagement will consist of a Premarket document and an Online questionnaire via MS Forms to complete. The Council will provide additional support documents of the portfolio which was originally available to respondents during the first premarket engagement. This is to ensure all respondents have the most information to aid their responses to our questions. This premarket will not be considered an expression of interest in the tender itself. Respondents who are interested should contact: paul.tamanis-laing@cambridgeshire.gov.uk to request premarket information and the link to the online questionnaire. Any questions or queries, the respondents should contact Paul Tamanis-Laing
