This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) open for responses until 17:00 on 22 April 2022. The primary aim is to explore interest from suppliers to help launch the installation of rapid charging hubs at various locations across London, particularly focusing on the feasibility of approximately 248 selected sites that could support at least six rapid chargers. This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies involved in electrical equipment, installation services, and renewable energy solutions. Businesses specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure, charging technology, and related retail services would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. As TfL aims to establish a pioneering approach to electric vehicle charging, suppliers able to demonstrate capacity, technical capability, and innovation in rapid charging solutions will be highly valued in this exciting market segment. ## Notice Transport for London (TfL) is undertaking an early market engagement exercise, via the publication of a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ), to gauge interest from the sector on a collaborative approach to deploying Electric Vehicle Rapid Charging Hubs. The Mayor has tasked TfL with facilitating the roll-out of EV charge points in London, in line with commitments embedded in the Mayor's Transport Strategy. This has led to the development of four key Programmes (TfL's Rapid Charging Programme, Go-Ultra Low City Scheme, Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Delivery (EVID) Plan and Electric Vehicle Rapid Charging Hubs) to ensure that all charging speeds and EV use cases are accounted for. The Electric Vehicle Rapid Charging Hub programme is a first-of-its-kind within TfL and aims to invest in the deployment and operation of rapid charging hubs on TfL's property estate for commercial benefit. The Programme differs from previous work as hub sites are based off-street and should aim to host a minimum of six rapid chargers (>50kW, with a preference for high-powered (~150kW) equipment), as well as retail and welfare facilities. The Programme is also focussed on increasing TfL's involvement across the supply and delivery chain, with the intent to invest in the development of sites and derive long-term revenue from the operation of the infrastructure. To date, the TfL Commercial Development team has assessed ~10,000 TfL sites to determine their feasibility to accommodate a 'Minimum Value Proposition' of at least six rapid chargers, waiting bays and basic retail and welfare facilities. The technical and commercial feasibility of the most attractive sites has also been rigorously tested against expected future demand for rapid charging, power availability and practical constraints, such as planning, traffic considerations and legal rights. Through this process a long list (currently 248; constantly evolving) of sites have been identified as potentially feasible and a high priority for EV Hub development. In a first tranche, TfL is proposing to develop up to three sites, ranging in size from small (eight charging bays) to large (twenty charging bays). These sites have undergone extensive feasibility work and have been designed up to RIBA Stage 2 with support from external consultants. The initial deployment will act as a 'proof-of-concept' to provide TfL with confidence to take on a larger role in EV hub deployment with a continuous and growing pipeline of hub projects. The MSQ will seek views on a number of aspects including supplier and service provider appetite, capacity and capability, as well as well as gauging the general level of interest in this opportunity.
