## Summary

Buckinghamshire Council is planning a procurement process for the installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints under the UK Government's Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. The project, titled "RFI - EV Chargepoints (LEVI) (Mar25)," falls under the transport equipment and construction work categories (CPV codes 34000000 and 45000000 respectively). The council seeks to engage with market participants to explore funding models and commercial approaches. The process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement deadline set for 7th April 2025. The initiative targets locations across England, catering to residents without off-street parking.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for companies in the EV chargepoint industry and those offering transport infrastructure and construction services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. By contributing innovative funding solutions and technical expertise, businesses can help shape the development of local EV charging infrastructure while tapping into new market opportunities. This engagement will enable the council to identify optimal commercial models, fostering business growth and supporting sustainable transport solutions.

## Notice

The UK Government's LEVI fund supports local authorities in England to work with the chargepoint industry, to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. These public chargepoints will help residents who don't have off-street parking and need to charge their electric vehicles (EVs). Buckinghamshire Council would like to engage with the market as part of the development of procurement. The Council is also keen to explore all available options and requests information on fully-funded models (i.e. utilising funding from your business only) and hybrid approaches (i.e. offering separate bidding 'Lots' for LEVI and fully funded models). We will review the responses from the market and use these to make an informed decision on the most appropriate commercial model for the Council. Further information on the LEVI fund can be found on the Energy Savings Trust website .
