Description

WCC are looking to procure concessions contracts for the installation of 30 new Electric Vehicle (EV) DC Rapid Charge Points on the public highway in Westminster where WCC will be responsible for enabling all sites. We propose to award contracts to the two highest scoring bidders on a 18:12 split of the sites and this will include 5 higher powered 100kw units (the rest being rated at 50kW) being installed for the first time on the Westminster public highway. There is at present an excellent provision of slow (lamp column powered) and fast (7-22kW standalone units) in Westminster and the aim of this procurement is to support these with a significant uplift in our rapid charger network. There is a shortfall of Rapid EV chargers across Westminster, and we have a commitment to provide a mixture of charging types to help the different EV users, at a reasonable cost. This supports not only Westminster’s climate goals and clean air ambitions but also London’s as a whole, with the shared targets for reaching net zero carbon by 2030. The contracts will provide for the installation, operation and management of DC Rapid Chargers in on-street locations and the programme will effectively double the council’s Rapid Charger portfolio from 32 to 62 units. The scope is for the installation, operation and management of a rapid charger service to allow customers to purchase electricity for their vehicles through networks. The supplier is required to: 1. Ensure the continuous supply of electricity to the charge points via the purchase of this on the wholesale market. 2. Maximise the availability of the charge points to provide an all year-round service at every charge point. 3. Carry out regular cyclical maintenance and address any faulty or damaged infrastructure in line with the requirements of the specification. 4. Ensure customers can use each charge point via a range of payment options with the offer of ‘menu pricing’ for some customer groups (residents, taxis, business fleets etc). 5. Provide a customer interface, including a mobile app through which they can make payment for their charge, and full back-office support, including the provision of an all year-round customer support helpline through which any issues or faults can be reported.
