## Summary

The Hertfordshire County Council is planning a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for the provision of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, aiming to support the uptake of electric vehicles within Hertfordshire to achieve 'net zero' carbon emissions by 2050. Interested organisations must submit a completed Supplier Questionnaire through the In-Tend system by the return deadline of 12.00 Noon on 11th September 2023. The Council is seeking input from the market to inform any future procurement processes related to this initiative.

This tender by the Hertfordshire County Council presents opportunities for businesses involved in Highway operation services, construction works for highways, roads, and electric vehicles sector to participate in shaping the future provision of electric vehicle infrastructure in the region. Businesses well-suited to compete include those offering EV charging solutions, construction and maintenance services for highways, and suppliers of electric vehicle-related technologies. Participating in the PPME will help organisations understand potential future contract opportunities in this area.

## Notice

Given international, national and Hertfordshire County Council's commitments to achieving 'net zero' carbon emission by 2050, and planned phase out of petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, there is a clear rationale for supporting the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) within Hertfordshire. We have developed an Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy. Our own forecasting work and Cenex data estimates that by 2030 there will be between 240,800 - 286,757 electric vehicles among Hertfordshire residents and a requirement for between 6,769 - 8,977 EVCPs. Our strategy is to work with our District and Boroughs to provide publicly available EV chargepoints to fill gaps in provision. Opportunities to provide chargepoints will be considered in off street car parks and off street hubs as well as in on street locations where there is demonstrable demand and no alternative nearby provision. Please refer to the PPME Document for full details.
