This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically research consultancy services, and is located in England. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with key dates including the tender period that ended on 6 April 2021, and the contract period starting from 4 May 2021 and concluding on 31 July 2021. The contract value is set at £7,500, with the procurement method classified as a limited competitive quotation, below the threshold. This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure, consultancy services, or sustainable transport solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in delivering innovative electric vehicle charging solutions will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could enhance business growth through connections with the Forestry Commission and the expansion of electric vehicle charging services across forest car parks. ## Notice With current Government transport strategies and the shift away from fossil fuel vehicles, the importance and reliance for public facing electric vehicle charging points in areas not usually associated with the supply or provision to re-fuel a vehicle will be critical. In order to provide an added 'service' to Forestry England visitors whose mode of transport is an electric vehicle, we have the aspiration to provide the technology and systems whereby vehicles can be charged through public facing electric vehicle charging points at a Forestry England car park. We are successfully operating our own fleet of electric vehicles through our 'back of house' electric vehicle infrastructure and now wish to further explore the opportunities for public facing electric vehicle charging points. Our overriding objective would be to provide public facing electric vehicle charging points at locations i.e. forest car parks, where sufficient demand for this service is evident and / or a realistic prospect and is commercially viable. To further develop our strategic direction and ultimately understand the feasibilities for the implementation of our objective, we wish to engage with a specialist consultant who will provide expert knowledge and experience in this field.
