### Lot Information

Lot 1

In 2022/23, Transport Scotland introduced the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF) with the objective of unlocking private sector investment to expand the current network, in particular to locations that may be less commercially viable. Perth and Kinross Council and Angus Council are collaborating to deliver a fair, accessible and ambitious EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) network that meets the needs of residents, workers and visitors throughout the region. Perth and Kinross Council, as the lead authority, will undertake a joint open procurement procedure to award a supplier with a concession contract to: * Migrate and upgrade the existing EVCI network of 135 units currently operated by ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) onto the new supplier's back office; * Design, install and commission a new network of 183 EVCI at proposed sites, funded by a combination of EVIF funding and private sector investment; * Operate and maintain the whole network of EVCI in alignment with Council defined Key Performance Indicators; * Deliver the strategic objectives set out in Transport Scotland's Vision for EV Charging Infrastructure in Scotland; * Deliver a well-designed, comprehensive and people-focused public charge point network. The approach to deploying a new EVCI network will ensure that residents without access to off-street parking in urban and rural locations will be able to charge their EV at a nearby charging hub, on-street solution, or public car park-based charger. The Councils have received an EVIF grant of 1,987,678 GBP from Transport Scotland to support the delivery of the expanded EVCI network. In addition to the EVIF grant allocation, approximately 700,000 GBP of private sector capital investment will be required to support the delivery of the new network.
