Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (VCI)

The framework is essentially a select list of suppliers, all with a proven and successful track record of delivering vehicle charging infrastructure, from which customers may set up supply arrangements quickly and simply.

Lot 1 Purchase of Electric Vehicle Charge Points

Lot 1 covers the outright purchase of electric vehicle charge points (EVCPs). Suppliers can supply, deliver, install, commission warrant, and maintain EVCPs to the customers’ specifications. Turnkey / end-to-end solutions are available, or Customers can pick and choose which elements they require from the supply chain. All types of charger are covered e.g. fast/rapid/ultra-rapid, AC, DC, etc. Call-offs can be made via direct award or further competition.

Lot 2 Lease of Electric Vehicle Charge Points

Customers pay a monthly price per EVCP which covers a lease for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, warranty and maintenance of the unit(s). Other funding options may be available under the framework i.e. lease purchase, contract hire, hire purchase by arrangement with the suppliers directly. Call-offs can be made via direct award or via further competition.

Lot 3 Back Office Solutions

Customers who are looking for an EVCP which includes a back office can use Lots 1 or 2 above, which offer charging equipment with a back office included. If however, you are a customer who already has EVCPs in place, but wish to secure a new supplier for your back office / Charge Point Management System, then you are able to use the comprehensive supplier offerings in this lot. Call-offs can be made via direct award or further competition.
