This opportunity falls under the industry category of transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation (CPV: 34000000) and is located in the Greater Manchester region (UKD3). The process aims to engage with potential suppliers for an electric vehicle (EV) charge point supplier contract, leveraging funding from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. Interested parties must express their interest via TfGM's e-tendering portal, Pro-Contract, referencing DN739596. Key dates to note include future documentation availability expected by 29 November 2024. This market engagement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the EV charging sector to contribute to the expansion of local charging infrastructure across Greater Manchester’s ten local authority areas. Suppliers with expertise in EV charging solutions and the capability to support both the public and private sectors are well-suited to compete. The initiative, backed by LEVI funding, aims to accelerate the deployment and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure, particularly for residents without off-street parking. By participating, suppliers can shape the procurement strategy and demonstrate their capacity, potentially leading to long-term business growth and collaboration with TfGM. ## Notice Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) are looking for information from the supplier market to help finalise the procurement strategy and any tender documentation, for an EV charge point supplier contract to utilise the allocated LEVI funding. Prior to engagement of a formal procurement exercise, TfGM intend to engage with the market to understand capacity, capability and appetite for the requirement. Greater Manchester has been allocated capital funding from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. This is to help to rollout infrastructure in all 10 Greater Manchester Local Authority areas. There is an expectation that the overall funding will be derived from a combination of public and private sector contributions, the private sector contribution coming from the chosen supplier. A stated objective of the LEVI fund supports local authorities in England to work with the charge point industry, to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. The LEVI Capital fund aims to: * deliver a step-change in the deployment of local, primarily low power, on-street charging infrastructure across England * accelerate the commercialisation of, and investment in, the local charging infrastructure sector. A stated aim of these public charge points is to help residents who don't have off-street parking and need to charge their electric vehicles (EVs). This is an opportunity for EV charging suppliers to understand more around the potential TfGM requirements and opportunity, and to allow them to submit information that will feed into the commercial and procurement strategy and tender documentation. TfGM are looking for a supplier with the expertise and product range that will support are goals in this area and would appreciate responses from suppliers that fall within this bracket.
