This procurement process aims to increase on-street low-powered charge points in residential areas within the county of Essex. The deadline for responses to the Market Engagement pack is 3rd May 2024 23:55. This tender presents a significant business opportunity for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) interested in advancing Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure. Businesses involved in electrical equipment, electric vehicles, electrical installation work, and related services are well-suited to compete. Essex County Council will follow up with selected providers after reviewing responses to maximise the value of the allocated grant funding. ## Notice Essex County Council have been pre-allocated PS8,382,000 under the Local Electric Vehicle (LEVI) fund, which aims to increase the number of on-street low-powered charge points in residential areas, accelerating the commercialisation of EV Charging infrastructure across the county. As part of ensuring that we deliver the maximum value for money and design the best commercial arrangement for this funding, we would be grateful if Charge Point Operators (CPOs) could respond to our Market Engagement pack. The purpose of this is to discover which providers are able to deliver on this requirement and how suppliers would maximise the delivery of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure with ECC's allocated grant funding. We will then be holding follow up meetings with selected providers. The deadline for responses is 3rd May 2024 23:55. All contract start and end dates are rough estimates, and should not be taken as indicative of the final contract term.
