This is part of the UK Government's LEVI fund aimed at improving local charging infrastructure. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 5th August 2024. The process pertains to the industry category of "Electrical equipment for engines and vehicles" and targets the delivery locations within England. Interested parties can access further details through the Buckinghamshire Business Portal. The milestone for early engagement was published on 20th October 2023, with the latest modification on 26th July 2024. This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for companies specialising in EV charging solutions, electrical equipment, and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate due to the inclusive nature of the tender suitability criteria. Engaging in this RFI can unlock new business avenues for those capable of contributing to the expansion and commercialisation of public charging points, thus supporting the transition towards electric vehicles and sustainable infrastructure. ## Notice The UK Government's LEVI fund supports local authorities in England to work with the chargepoint industry, to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. These public chargepoints will help residents who don't have off-street parking and need to charge their electric vehicles (EVs). Buckinghamshire Council would like to engage with the market as part of the development of our application into Tranche 1 of the LEVI fund. Further information on the LEVI fund can be found on the Energy Savings Trust website. A new RFI questionnaire is being sough in relation to the commercial approach.
