About the requirement

From the notice

The purpose of this ITT is to appoint a single Charge Point Operator, to deliver Bedford Borough Council's requirements for a "full turnkey" solution to supply, install, connect, commission, operate and maintain a network of charge points on behalf of the Council across the Borough. We expect the winning bidder to deliver a minimum of 512 additional new Electric Vehicle "sockets" (as defined in the Contract at Schedule 4), of which: i) A minimum of 256 sockets to be located at our required sites as set out in Portfolios 1, 2 and 3 (see section 2.2.3 in this document for further information), with our £1.01m subsidy to support installations. ii) Further to this we would like the operator to match and extend our investment through private funding with a minimum additional 256 sockets, at our required sites or at additional sites (to be agreed with the Council). iii) The total minimum delivery of at least 512 additional new Electric Vehicle "sockets." To this end, Bedford Borough Council (BBC) is primarily seeking for its required 256 sockets at the stated locations, a charging solution involving 7kw - 22kw power charge points across the Borough-wide network, to benefit residents without off street parking.
