Commercial arrangements The council is looking to maximise the opportunity to attracted private investment against our LEVI funding of PS1.27M. As such we have set out an ambitious target of installing over 620 standard power (up to 8kW) charging sockets along with around 9 rapid chargepoints over 5 years. Due to the level of private investment we wish to attract, this opportunity will be provided through an 15 year concession contract which will include the installation of the chargepoints. It is expected that the chargepoints will be installed during the first 5 years of the contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016937-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 May 2024 - 13 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,000,000 | | Lots value | £16,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LUTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LUTON | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH21 Luton | | Local authority | Luton | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Luton South and South Bedfordshire | | Delivery location | TLH21 Luton | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233100 - Construction work for highways, roads ## Release History - 30 May 2024 at 15:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016937-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.luton.gov.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=35d3abfd-921e-ef11-812b-005056b64545 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
