How to win: Lamp column electric vehicle charge points for London Boroughs of Camden and Islington

About this contract

Procurement process for the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington, to appoint a charge point operator to supply, install, operate, maintain and decommission charge points (at the contract end if necessary), a minimum of 1,100 lamp column electric vehicle charge points (EVCPs) under the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme. Of this, Camden and Islington require minimums of 500 and 600 charge points respectively. The procurement is being conducted jointly because LEVI funding requires that London boroughs procure in partnership to achieve scalability; ie. to encourage Charge Point Operator (CPO) investment to install more charge points for the funding. Hence Camden and Islington make up London Partnership 1. The capital costs of the project will be fully covered by a combination of LEVI funding (£1,212,250) and the charge point operator (any costs over and above £1,212,250). The procurement will result in a single operator being appointed for both boroughs, with contracts being executed separately between the successful operator and each Borough. It should be noted that for Camden, the project capital costs will need to include the provision of 500 new lamp columns f
