This initiative falls under the electric vehicles industry category and is intended to develop and deploy new technologies for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and home energy management. The project is set to start in mid-2019 and is expected to last between one to three years. Interested suppliers are invited to engage in supplier sessions, with a key deadline for expressions of interest due by 8 February 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those focused on innovative technologies within the electric vehicle sector. Companies that specialise in electric vehicle charging solutions, energy management systems, or those capable of developing new charging concepts would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, offering a chance to collaborate with the Milton Keynes Council on this transformative project aimed at enhancing urban electric vehicle infrastructure. ## Notice Milton Keynes Council is seeking to secure a supplier or consortium to explore the development and deployment of these new technologies related specifically to electric vehicle charging infrastructure and home energy management starting mid 2019 and expected to run for a period of between 1 -3 Years. To progress this, Milton Keynes Council is initially seeking Expressions of Interest from suppliers who would be interested in attending a supplier engagement session to explore the preferred delivery method for three Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Innovation work streams. The Work streams are: 1. Developing and demonstrating innovative public charging systems which can be used by residents who do not have access to off-street parking. (This will need to look beyond current capabilities and either develop new concepts/products and/or address shortcoming of the current offer) 2. Exploring and installing wireless charging systems for use by taxis and private cars 3. Developing and demonstrating smart domestic power systems which can provide active balancing of electricity distribution networks, in response to the growing number of electric vehicles. The work streams are expected to interact (potentially be combined) and are likely to use the same demonstration street/area and respond to a specific challenge (s) or outcome(s) the council wishes to achieve. The Council will undertake Supplier Engagement sessions with interested parties to investigate the delivery options that are available in the current market. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/337306d6-6909-4fa3-9594-a9905ed46ee3 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Feb 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MILTON KEYNES COUNCIL | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 3EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34144900 - Electric vehicles ## Release History - 28 Jan 2019 at 11:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/337306d6-6909-4fa3-9594-a9905ed46ee3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/337306d6-6909-4fa3-9594-a9905ed46ee3 28th January 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
