## Summary

The National Highways organisation has awarded a contract for the project titled "T0542 Rapid Charging Fund Technical Partner" in the research and development services and related consultancy services category. The procurement method used was selective, with a value of £3,922,336.50 in GBP. The contract period is from March 6, 2024, to March 31, 2026, with the tender period ending on February 2, 2024. The project is located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for service providers in the research and development sector to collaborate with National Highways as the contracting authority. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this process. The contract aims to support HM Government's policy on the electrification of the Strategic Road Network to achieve Net Zero emissions by providing electric vehicle charge points at Motorway Service Areas.

## Notice

The Rapid Charging Fund ("RCF" or "the Fund") is being established to meet a HM Government policy ambition to enable the delivery of the necessary Electric Vehicle (EV) charge points on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) to support Government's longer-term electrification objectives and transition to Net Zero. The Fund will be made available initially to help Motorway Service Area Operators (MSAO) to (part) pay for upgrade works to access additional electrical capacity, where under normal circumstances this would be uneconomic.
