## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for an "EV Open Data - Open Data Provider" initiative. This procurement, categorised under "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" (CPV code 72000000), aims to aggregate real-time data from public charge points across the UK. The data will undergo quality checks before submission to the DfT for regulatory and policy purposes, in compliance with the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023. This effort addresses a broad geographical scope, including the UK, Europe, and various other territories. Interested suppliers should note the future notice date of 28th October 2024, with the contract period running from 16th December 2024 to 15th December 2025. The total contract value is estimated at £360,000.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, data aggregation, and quality assurance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to compete. By engaging in this project, businesses can contribute to a pivotal government initiative, enhancing their portfolio and demonstrating their capability in managing critical data infrastructure. Companies that are adept in software development and have experience in regulatory compliance are well-suited for this opportunity. The open data aspect ensures a high involvement of industry players, positioning participants at the forefront of an evolving market sector.

## Notice

The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 mandate that EV Charge Point Operators (CPOs) must open charge point data accurately through the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol by 24th Nov 2024. We expect industry, including CPOs, eMSPs and other intermediaries, to use open data to ensure that consumers have access to accurate, timely data on public chargepoints, enabling them to find and use the most appropriate chargepoints for their needs with confidence. Given the prevalence of such providers, we do not currently see a need for DfT to build a data platform to serve aggregated open data to consumers. There is however a clear need to build a solution to enable DfT, regulators and other government departments and agencies to use open data effectively. The purpose of the procurement is to select a supplier to aggregate real-time data from public charge points in the UK, perform data quality checks, and submit this data to the Department for Transport (DfT) for regulatory and policy purposes
