## Summary

Highways England is seeking to enhance safety and clarity in the handling of electric vehicles by commissioning a guidance document for recovery operators. The project, titled "T0020 (DfT TETI10077) Guidance for recovery operators working with electric vehicles," falls under the research and development services category. The procurement method chosen is selective, specifically calling off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 17th November 2020 to 28th February 2021. Notably, this contract has a total value of £23,547.42 and is located within the United Kingdom, having reached the award stage as of 16th November 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in service provision related to electric vehicles, especially those specializing in recovery operations or emergency response training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular could find this an advantageous prospect, as the guidance will clarify operational responsibilities, thereby reducing risks and enhancing safety protocols. Companies well-versed in vehicle recovery and emergency service collaboration will be well-positioned to effectively participate in future similar tenders, driving growth in this emerging sector.

## Notice

The DfT would like to commission the production of a guidance document for recovery operators when dealing with electric vehicles. This guidance document will clarify responsibilities between recovery operators and emergency services at the scene of a damaged EV as well as to make recommendations on training and personal protective equipment for recovery operators. These guidelines are urgently needed as there is currently confusion around this matter, leading to unnecessary and potentially serious risks of injury to operators and the operation of the UK road network.
