## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has completed a procurement process for the project titled "EV Open Data - Open Data Provider," aimed at aggregating and managing real-time data from UK public charge points. This falls under the industry category of data services, as classified by CPV code 72300000. The successful procurement, employing an open procedure above the threshold, concluded with the awarding of the contract to Zapmap Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, for a total value of £240,000. The project is set to begin on 9th December 2024 and end on 8th December 2025. This initiative ensures that regulatory and policy frameworks benefit from accurate data, as necessitated by the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023. DfT's commitment to enhancing the efficiency and transparency of public charge point data will benefit multiple geographical regions, including the United Kingdom and selected international areas, as outlined in their delivery addresses.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in data services, particularly those specialising in open data solutions and real-time data management. Companies with expertise in developing data platforms and performing data quality checks are well-positioned to capitalise on such opportunities, with potential growth stemming from government contracts and broader industry validation. Given that the procurement allows for SME participation, smaller businesses with innovative solutions can thrive by addressing the government’s need for high-quality, reliable data services. Such contracts not only bolster credibility but also facilitate exposure to new markets and partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice

The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 mandate that EV Charge Point Operators (CPOs) must open charge point data accurately through the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol by 24th Nov 2024. We expect industry, including CPOs, eMSPs and other intermediaries, to use open data to ensure that consumers have access to accurate, timely data on public chargepoints, enabling them to find and use the most appropriate chargepoints for their needs with confidence. Given the prevalence of such providers, we do not currently see a need for DfT to build a data platform to serve aggregated open data to consumers. There is however a clear need to build a solution to enable DfT, regulators and other government departments and agencies to use open data effectively. The purpose of the procurement is to select a supplier to aggregate real-time data from public charge points in the UK, perform data quality checks, and submit this data to the Department for Transport (DfT) for regulatory and policy purposes.
