Interested parties can register their interest via the BravoSolution portal, and procurement methods will follow based on the insights gathered from this exercise. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the electric vehicle infrastructure sector. Companies that specialise in the installation, maintenance, and management of charging points, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-positioned to compete once the subsequent procurement opportunities are launched. Engaging with the BBC now can provide valuable insights and prepare these businesses for potential future contracts in this expanding market. ## Notice This document is a Request for Information ('RFI') in relation to install, maintain and manage electric vehicle charge points for commuters and visitors across a selection of sites across the BBC portfolio.
