## Summary

The Department for Transport is seeking to engage a supplier for the "Provision of a Technical Audit of Domestic Chargepoint Installations for OLEV." This project falls under the research and development services sector and aims to ensure the effectiveness of domestic chargepoint installations funded by the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS). The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract starting on 4th September 2020 and running until 3rd April 2021. The procurement method is selective, using a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £249,705.60. The work is to be conducted across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, encompassing areas from London to Scotland.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical engineering and inspection services, particularly those with qualifications in residential charging infrastructure. Companies that can demonstrate experience in conducting technical audits and possess the necessary certifications (such as C&G 2391 & 2392) would be well-positioned to compete. With a requirement to audit a significant number of installations monthly, this contract could be a lucrative prospect for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) eager to expand their operations in the growing electric vehicle market.

## Notice

The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) seeks a supplier to conduct an audit of domestic chargepoint installations, funded through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), by making on-site visits to carry out technical/electrical inspections at the addresses of a sample of domestic chargepoint installations and reviewing the processes used by installers. 3.2 Desk checks and on-site visit checks are required for a sample of installations completed under the above-mentioned scheme. 3.3 On-site visit checks will be conducted by experienced and qualified electrical inspectors. This experience will consist of time served as a qualified electrician and time served as an electrical inspector. 3.4 The minimum qualifications are C&G 2391 & 2392, C&G 2360 Part 1 and 2 with AM1 & 2 or equivalents. The electrical inspectors need to be conversant with the theoretical intentions of the technical specifications for installations of charge points. The supplier shall audit 5% of installations that are successfully awarded an EVHS grant during the time of the contract. This is predicted to be between 150 and 250 on-site visit checks per month. OLEV will provide the supplier with a monthly list comprising details of 10% of domestic charge point installations for that period and any additional installations that they require to be audited.
