Purpose
To detail LEVI project to build public EV charging across Wiltshire at scale, using £3.9m DfT capital funding and delivered through concession contract with commercial charge point operator.
To gain approval to offer LEVI concession contract to market.
To gain delegated authority to award contract to preferred bidder.
Decision
Resolved:
Cabinet:
- 1. Approves the LEVI concession contract proceeding to invitation to tender.
- 2. Delegates the contract award authority to the Corporate Director, Place after consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highways, Streetscene and Flooding.
Reasons for Decision:
Offering a concession contract offers the best balance of risk and reward for the Council, whilst also meeting LEVI advisory board recommendations.
The LEVI contract has utilised LEVI advisory board recommended heads of terms and the default EVI concession contract developed by the Government Commercial Agency (GCA), modified where necessary to reflect insights and recommendations from extensive market and stakeholder engagement.
Providing delegated authority to the Director to award the contract to the preferred bidder, will enable a quicker procurement process and charge point installations.
