This procurement, categorised under installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment, is in the 'services' industry sector. The procurement process is at the tender stage and follows a single-stage procedure akin to the Open Procedure as per the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. Key dates include a revised submission deadline of 16th June 2025. The project location is Rotherham, and the initiative aims to enhance local infrastructure with potential for battery storage, subject to design and consumption studies. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in renewable energy systems, electrical installation services, and infrastructure management. With a projected 15-year contract term, businesses in the sustainable energy and electric vehicle industries stand to benefit most from this opportunity. The total contract value is estimated at £5.208 million (excluding VAT), providing a substantial potential revenue stream. Successful bidders will collaborate with the council in leveraging a blend of public and private sector investment, thus benefiting from exposure in a rapidly growing sector that prioritises clean energy solutions. ## Notice The Council is looking to appoint a concessionaire to design, install, maintain, operate and manage a Solar PV canopy and EV Charging infrastructure at Drummond Street car park with local connection infrastructure assets and possible battery storage (subject to design and consumption studies). The Council is seeking proposals for a minimum inventory of EV charging infrastructure consisting of: 20 Bays Fast 7kW plus a further 20 bays pre-provisioned with ducting for expansion; 4 bays Rapid 50kW DC; and 4 bays Ultra-rapid 200kW DC. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council have been awarded a grant from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Pilot fund to develop a Solar PV Canopy and connection infrastructure at Drummond Street Car Park. S65 1HP. This also requires private sector investment (minimum PS330,000 ex. vat) to install and run an EV Charging concession as part of the project. Drummond Street Car Park is a 240-space pay-and-display surface car park well used by commuters and shoppers. It is situated on the edge of Rotherham Town Centre, across the road from the central markets complex and has approximately 2000 households within a ten-minute walk time. The main town taxi rank is conveniently accessible from the car park and is approximately 200m away, as is the A630 with an annual average daily flow of 35,158 vehicles (2023). An initial Request for Information (RFI) related to this project was issued in March 2023 and the information provided was extremely helpful. More recently a second RFI was issued for further clarification from the market (Notice reference 2024/S 000-040487). The fixed budget for the Design & Build of the Solar PV Canopy is PS1,050,000 excluding VAT. Supplier minimum contribution for EV Infrastructure is PS330,000 excluding VAT. EV Charging revenue estimate for the proposed 15 year period is PS4.158M excluding VAT. Total contract value is PS5.208M excluding VAT, PS6.250M inclusive of VAT. The contract value has been calculated by reference to the potential revenue that the Council considers could be collected by the Concessionaire through the provision of the Services for the entire contract duration. However, the value of the Contract is ultimately dependent on the vagaries of the market and the above income figure does not carry any guarantee of value or volume of business over the contract term.
