## Summary

The Oxfordshire County Council is currently engaged in a procurement process for the "Electric Vehicle Parking and Charge Project", which falls under the market research services category. This initiative aims to establish electric vehicle charging hubs in existing car parks throughout Oxfordshire, benefiting residents lacking off-road parking. The tender was published on 27 March 2020, with a tender period closing on 27 April 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 1 June 2020 and conclude by 28 February 2021, targeting the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in market research and communication strategies, particularly those with expertise in electric vehicles and sustainable transport solutions. Companies capable of developing educational campaigns to promote electric vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure in target areas would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially enhancing their business profile and market reach.

## Notice

The Park and Charge project is looking to use suitable car parks as EV charging hubs for residents without off-road parking (and thus access to a home charger of their own). Residents will be able to access the chargers overnight whilst during the day the chargers will be available for all car park users to use. The project, which has as its partners Zeta Group, ui-uk, SSE (Enterprises), the Council and the University of Oxford (OU) is supported by an Innovate UK grant and is planning to roll out up to 300 EVSE in up to 35 car parks across Oxfordshire. As part of the project there is a budget of PS120k to enable the Service Provider to develop and deliver a communication strategy to educate, inform and encourage residents in the EVSE target areas on the benefits of EVs, the charging facilities in their area and so accelerate the take up of EVs.
