Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy Appointment of specialist consultant

Tender description

With current Government transport strategies and the shift away from fossil fuel vehicles, the importance and reliance for public facing electric vehicle charging points in areas not usually associated with the supply or provision to re-fuel a vehicle will be critical. In order to provide an added 'service' to Forestry England visitors whose mode of transport is an electric vehicle, we have the aspiration to provide the technology and systems whereby vehicles can be charged through public facing electric vehicle charging points at a Forestry England car park. We are successfully operating our own fleet of electric vehicles through our 'back of house' electric vehicle infrastructure and now wish to further explore the opportunities for public facing electric vehicle charging points. Our overriding objective would be to provide public facing electric vehicle charging points at locations i.e. forest car parks, where sufficient demand for this service is evident and / or a realistic prospect and is commercially viable. To further develop our strategic direction and ultimately understand the feasibilities for the implementation of our objective, we wish to engage with a specialist consultant who will provide expert knowledge and experience in this field. A full briefing document of our requirements are labelled: Appendix 1 - Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy - Consultancy Brief.
