The tender, which is currently in the Award stage, was published on 30 June 2021. It invites proposals to support safety and regulatory compliance for Electric Road System trials, which will run from 6 September 2021 to 31 March 2022. The deadline for submitting tender proposals was 21 July 2021, with a contract value of £60,000 and a minimum value of £40,000, aimed at supporting the UK's decarbonisation agenda through innovative industry practices. This opportunity provides significant potential for growth within the transport and environmental services sectors. Businesses involved in health and safety consultancy, regulatory compliance, and electric vehicle technology would find this tender particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as the project aims to foster innovation while facilitating partnerships that contribute to achieving a sustainable transport future in the UK. ## Notice CPC is looking for an industry expert to carry out work relating to the safety and regulatory compliance of Electric Road System (ERS) Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) trials. The work will contribute to the Zero Emissions Road Freight Trials (ZERFT) Phase 1 project conducted by CPC. ZERFT Phase 1 is a twelve-month project running from April 2021 to March 2022, supporting the UK Government in its first year of an intended long-term programme to pioneer ERS and other zero emission technologies. Trials run as part of ZERFT will support industry to develop cost-effective, zero-emission, heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in the UK. CPC has a track record of enabling industry innovations, helping them unlock their full potential. As such, CPC is well-placed to play a role in the UK's decarbonisation agenda and are doing so through a range of activities including the ongoing collaboration with partners involved in the project.
