Total Quantity or Scope

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) strategy for Electric Vehicle Charging (EVC) expansion will focus on providing charge point access to all communities in the city. The identified approach to EVC expansion includes residential on street chargers, to provide those with no access to off street parking a charging solution and rapid hub solutions. The Council have been provisionally allocated a grant funding amount from Transport Scotland’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF). The EVIF aims to act as a catalyst to accelerate private sector investment to deliver a fair, reliable and accessible EVC network that meets the needs of all users, for publicly accessible EV charging by enabling local authorities to develop and deliver partnerships with the private sector for increasing the supply of the electric vehicle charging network. These partnerships may be achieved from a concession arrangement between the Council and the private sector. The Council wish to engage with suitable suppliers to ensure the city delivers maximum value for money and designs the optimal commercial arrangement of the provisional funding allocation. The aim of this Prior Information Notice is to enable interested parties, possessing relevant experience, to provide information to the Council via a questionnaire, thereby contributing to shaping the procured solution. The Council may invite organisations to attend a market engagement event in Edinburgh with appropriate officers to further discuss their organisations experience. Please confirm ASAP to ben.fulton@edinburgh.gov.uk if you would wish to attend an in person briefing in Edinburgh on 4/5th June. Please return the attached questionnaire to ben.fulton@edinburgh.gov.uk by 23 May 2024.
