Lots:
KCS Professional Services, acting for and on behalf of Kent County Council (KCC) has created a regional, user friendly, time and cost-effective Framework Agreement for the supply of Electrical Vehicle Charging Points and Associated Services.
Electrical Vehicle Charging Points & Associated Services
Initially in Kent there will be 156 sites to start with, which require a range of charger speeds. It is expected that the supplier will fund most of the works and provide a revenue share back to the Customer. Government Grants (namely On-street Charging Scheme) could be applied for as part of the project and other external funding may be provided by project partners. The SE7 (South East Seven) are looking for Suppliers to provide an affordable charging network that will be widely used within the respective areas.
Following the Governments pledge to cut carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, the sale of new petrol & diesel cars will be banned by 2030. This Framework Agreement will assist regional public sector organisations in being prepared for the increase in demand for charging points.
Bus Charging Solutions
Initially in Kent there is a requirement for an EV infrastructure that accommodates the power requirements and charging profile of Fastrack services. Infrastructure will need to be future proofed, taking into account service expansion as well as ensuring charge point hardware supports open protocol standards to allow flexibility of access and shared infrastructure opportunities to support increased electric bus future transition and wider community uptake.
The opportunities will need to link and support the wider regeneration plans for the area allowing local
communities to benefit from sustainable transport modes, access to charging infrastructure, local energy
generation, support Zero Carbon plans and local air quality.
Who can use this framework?
This is a regional framework in conjunction with KCC and will allow access to all public sector bodies, located within the SE7 (South East Seven) locations, which are: Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Medway, Surrey, West Sussex.
The framework agreement is also open for use by all other local authorities and public sector bodies. Full details of the classification of potential Contracting Bodies and end user’s geographical areas and organisation classifications can be found in the OJEU notice.
