This initiative aims to support the region's net zero goals by providing EVCI network for residents without private parking access. The deadline for engagement is set for 6th October 2023. This tender opportunity created by Merseytravel seeks market responses from interested suppliers for the EVCI procurement process. Businesses in the electric vehicles industry, electrical engineering installation works, and electricity supply installations are well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this opportunity to contribute to the development of sustainable transport infrastructure. ## Notice ACTION REQUIRED - form to be completed. Introduction A climate emergency was declared by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) and all LCR Local Authorities (LCR LA's) in 2019. All LCR authorities have declared a commitment to become net zero by 2040, with the exception of Liverpool who aim to achieve net zero by 2030. In addition the LCR Mayor has set a clear priority that all LCRCA investments must consider their impact on the environment and commit to measurable action to support the region's net zero goals. All organisations are committed to facilitating the use of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) in addition to increased walking, cycling, and public and shared transport, and therefore the provision of suitable well located Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) will contribute to delivery on net zero across the region. The LCRCA has successfully obtained PS9,647,000 Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Capital funding to invest into EVCI via a regional contract. LCR EVCI Aims - To provide a sustainable electric vehicle charging infrastructure network that supports journeys across the Liverpool City Region, is easy to use, is inclusive and accessible for all, and offers good value for money, both for public sector and network users. - To allocate the LEVI Capital Funding via a regional contract for the purposes of predominantly supporting the needs of residents without access to a private drive or garage by facilitating the delivery of on-street EVCI (inclusive of publicly owned car parks and other land that can be made available for residents to access). - To contribute to a broader 'net zero' transport network which delivers healthier communities while supporting inclusive economic growth i.e. an EVCI network that supports wider transport policy such as Car Clubs and mobility hubs. LCR EVCI Objectives - Enable and deliver a comprehensive public electric vehicle charging infrastructure network across the Borough, including through our ability to influence and leverage investment from the private sector and other partners. - Set out an approach to managing on highway EV charging, ensuring that residents without access to private off-road parking can access appropriate EVCI - Set out an approach to managing EV charging in local authority car parks. - Encourage new developments to include high quality electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Procurement Intent The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) on behalf of the LCR Local Authorities (Halton Borough Council, Knowsley Council, Liverpool City Council, Sefton Council, St Helens Borough Council, and Wirral Council) is currently developing an approach to the procurement of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) for the Liverpool city region. To help inform a future procurement exercise, the LCRCA is now seeking market responses from interested suppliers to this opportunity.
