The contract encompasses installation services for electrical and mechanical equipment under the Services category, with the main procurement related to electric vehicle charging points, particularly for residents without off-street parking. This project is part of the Council's initiative to prepare the city for an EV revolution as outlined in their 2023 Cabinet report. The procurement process is ongoing, with a tender submission deadline set for 13th February 2025. The total estimated value of the contract ranges between £5,170,082.15 and £81.47 million, with a specific allocation of £1.448 million from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Funding by the Energy Saving Trust (EST), and a requirement for the contractor to fund the remaining balance of project costs estimated at £4.800 million.
