## Summary

The North East Combined Authority (NECA) and Newcastle University are conducting a joint procurement process for the design and construction of two Electric Vehicle Go Ultra Low Filling Stations. This initiative aims to provide efficient refuelling solutions in urban areas of the North East of England, specifically at locations in Newcastle City Centre and Sunderland, addressing air quality and noise issues while catering to limited parking. The tender was published on 24th October 2017, with the tender period closing on 29th November 2017. The estimated budget for the project is £2,000,000, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure above the threshold.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses engaged in construction and electrical installation services, particularly those specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. Those with expertise in building construction work, electrical systems design, and vehicle refuelling services will find this contract well-suited for expanding their operational scope and contributing to green transport initiatives in the region.
