This initiative falls under the industry category of Energy Storage Systems and is currently in the Planning stage. The contract is expected to span up to 24 months, commencing on 11 October 2022 and concluding on 10 October 2024. The total value of the contract is around £8.83 million (excluding VAT), and the procurement will utilise the Crown Commercial Service's Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets Dynamic Purchasing System, with tenders anticipated to be invited in April 2022. This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for companies specialising in energy storage solutions, particularly those capable of delivering innovative systems for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Businesses that manufacture or supply battery technology, load balancing systems, or electrical engineering services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this tender. Early engagement with the supply chain is crucial, as it aims to develop a comprehensive specification that facilitates participation in future opportunities attached to Highways England's electrification efforts across motorway service areas in England. ## Notice National Highways will be procuring a NEC 4 Engineering Construction Contract (ECC) for a duration of up to 2 years (and is approximately from 11/10/22 to 10/10/24), for the supply and installation of Energy Storage Systems throughout England. The procurement route to be used will be the Crown Commercial Service's Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets Dynamic Purchasing System and tenders are programmed to be invited in April 2022. The solution is to deliver temporary provision of supplementary electricity capacity as well as load balancing (decreasing demands on the permanent electricity networks) without upgrade of supply, in accordance with National Highways' standards and objectives. This contract will contribute to the Government's commitment of a minimum of six high powered electric vehicle charge points at all Motorway Service Areas (MSA) in England by the end of 2023, by enabling rollout at locations where existing DNO (Distribution Network Operator) or National Grid capacity is insufficient to support delivering the commitment within the required timescales, up to the value of PS8.83m (excluding VAT) and where the cost of adding new capacity is commercially unviable.
