## Notice

This Tender is being published to support the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund, which is a major UK government initiative, administered by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), designed to support local authorities in England to roll out electric vehicle public charging infrastructure. The scheme aims to assist residents without off-street parking in transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs). The Authority has been awarded PS10,111,000 for the provision of public EV Chargepoints from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Capital fund, funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles. Additionally, the Authority has secured PS400,000 from the LEVI Pilot fund specifically for the delivery of lamppost-integrated Chargepoints. Delivery of the Pilot project has been included as a required element in this tender to ensure there is an integrated and consistent approach to EVI provision. The Authority's contribution towards the works required to deliver the Contract is PS10,511,000 which is aggregate sum of the LEVI Capital fund the LEVI Pilot fund as set out above. This Procurement and subsequent Contract is offered and will be delivered as a single lot covering the whole county. The Authority's desire is that installations can be balanced across the more commercially viable and the less commercially viable areas across the county. An experienced CPO with the technical expertise to deliver at the required scale and at pace is vital for a contract of this size. Modelling conducted for the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Strategy link: 'https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/media/945415/the-lancashire-and-blackburn-with-darwen-electric-vehicle-infrastructure-strategy.pdf' supported by forecasts from Cenex and Transport for the North, indicates that Lancashire will require a minimum of 6,200 charging Sockets by 2030. The number of individual units (Chargepoints) will depend on the use of technology, i.e. 7kW or 50kW+, and the number of Sockets per Chargepoint, and will be determined as part of this tender. Looking ahead to 2035, demand modelling suggests that the number of required Sockets will rise to at least 11,000 to accommodate the county's expanding electric vehicle fleet. This forecasting does not form a part of the minimum criteria for this Tender, however, the Authority remains committed to delivering the highest possible level of provision for residents by leveraging both the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund and private sector investment. References to 2030 and 2035 are aspirational dates only from forecast modelling. The minimum criteria for this Tender has been set out in Appendix 3 of the tender documents, these are available via the Authorities e-sourcing portal Oracle Fusion. The final number of Sockets to be delivered will be determined through the Tender evaluation process. Accordingly, Tenderers are encouraged to submit their most competitive proposals for delivering Electric Vehicle Infrastructure across Lancashire. The Authority is supported by cenex 'Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Technologies' in conducting this procurement.
