Zero Emission Vehicle IT System Development

Tender description

The purpose of this project is to deliver a digital system to support the ZEV Mandate, a new Government policy to regulate the sale of new cars and vans. Starting with short Discovery to finalise key requirements that build upon existing similar service for CO2 data, this will be followed by alpha and beta development stages before going live in Q2 2024. While the regulation it will support is complex, the IT system itself is relatively simple comprising of a database for storing records then a front end to enable access to them in limited ways. The system will need to support the storing of vehicle records, allowing participants to access and correct their data, the calculation of performance targets using those records, the application of those targets to calculate compliance, and recording activities undertaken by participants in relation to the scheme. Participants will need to be able to access and amend their records securely, with the body responsible for administering the regulation able to approve or deny any changes. Some of the data is protected under GDPR, so the system will need to ensure is stored and treated appropriately.
