Request for Information Electric Vehicle Charging Points

Tender description

West Oxfordshire District Council (the Council) is considering the possibility of installing Electric Vehicle Charging Points (ECVPs) at suitable locations across the district. Likely locations include Council owned car parks and there is also the possibility of installing points on third-party land. The Council has limited knowledge of what solutions may be available from the commercial market and is thus keen to have a better understanding of what sort of products and options are available. This will help us refine and better understand what we need. The Council recognises this is an area where technology is evolving quickly and is thus keen to allow the market to innovate with options and ideas that are available. We also recognise that a range of different commercial operating models probably exist and are keen to understand what sort of service solutions and income ownership models are available. As part of this we would like to understand the extent to which the Council would benefit from some or all of the income streams from the sale of electricity to users. Please note this is not a tender opportunity it is a pre-market engagement exercise designed to enable the Council to gather more information on options available in the marketplace.
