## Summary

The Scottish Ambulance Service has completed a procurement process for the Supply of Electric Vehicle: Charger and Infrastructure Operating Systems. The service is transitioning to ultra-low emission vehicles to align with Scottish Government objectives. They are seeking a back-office solution to manage electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Scotland. The tender, valued at £1,000,000, was awarded to Fuuse Ltd, creating opportunities in the services sector in the region.

This tender by the Scottish Ambulance Service offers business growth opportunities for firms providing administration services keen on sustainability. The supply and installation of electric vehicle chargers for a fleet of 1,500 vehicles present a significant opportunity in the Scottish region. Businesses with expertise in developing back-office systems for electric vehicle infrastructure are well-suited to compete and contribute to the Service's commitment to sustainable transport solutions.

## Notice

The Scottish Ambulance Service is fully committed to embracing the Scottish Government direction that they will "Take the lead in promoting the use of ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) and phase out the need for new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2032." In support of this strategy, Transport Scotland have published Switched on Scotland: A roadmap to widespread adoption of plug-in vehicles offering practical assistance in delivering the strategy and in turn the wider benefits. To support the increasing numbers of electric vehicles that the Scottish Ambulance are introducing into their fleet, the Service continues to procure the supply and installation of a number of electric vehicle chargers at locations across Scotland. The type and number of installations at each site will be tailored to the requirements of the vehicles based or attending that site. We are looking for a back-office solution to manage our electric vehicle charging infrastructure to allow control, visibility and development of the back office solution.
