Opportunity overview

The UK Government's Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) has introduced the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund which will support Local Authorities (LAs) in England in working with the chargepoint industry to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. This infrastructure will primarily be used to help residents without off-street parking to access affordable and reliable electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints. The LEVI Capital fund aims to: - Deliver a step-change in the deployment of local, primarily low power, on-street charging infrastructure across England; and - Accelerate the commercialisation of, and investment in, the local charging infrastructure sector Reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment is at the forefront of the North East Lincolnshire Borough Council (the Authority) transport agenda. EV's play an important role in reducing carbon emissions; therefore, it is vital that the Authority can offer an effective EV Charging Infrastructure, that is equitable and accessible to all Residents within North East Lincolnshire. The Authority is seeking to appoint ChargePoint Operators (Service Providers) to undertake the supply, installation, maintenance, support and management, of the Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCP's) and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) Phase 2, that offers Residents on- street and off-street charging solutions. The Service Providers will also provide a Charge Point Management System (Management System) - Back Office software solution for Authority and a website service or mobile application (App/ Web solution) allowing Residents to initiate and control the charging of an EV and make payment The Authority has been awarded a maximum grant allocation of £1,431,000 through the LEVI fund to support the delivery of Phase 2 of the Authority's EVCP's and EVCI Programme. It's anticipated that Phase 2 of the EVCP's and EVCI programme will run alongside Phase 1. The Authority are seeking to enter into a long-term concessionary-based contract, for the duration of a 15-year term, with the option to extend for a further 1 year beyond the initial term. Tenderers should be aware that the total contract value is estimated and based upon usage and uptake of the EVCP's and EVCI within the borough. The value can increase or decrease and is not guaranteed. The Authority is conducting this tender using a Competitive Flexible procedure. The competitive flexible procedure is split into two (2) stages: Stage 1 - Invitation to tender Tenderers that Stage 2 - Demonstration Further information regarding this can be located in Section E of the tender documentation.

Procedure

Features
The Authority is conducting this tender using a Competitive Flexible procedure. The competitive flexible procedure is split into two (2) stages: Stage 1 - Invitation to tender (ITT) Stage 2 - Demonstration Only Tenderers who meet the minimum requirements for Stage 1 will be invited to Stage 2. Stage 1 ITT The first stage is the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. The ITT will be issued to the market for prospective tenderers to bid. Following the tender submission deadline, prospective Tenderers who pass all Conditions of Participation included within the PSQ will have their tender submission evaluated by the evaluation panel. All tenderers that meet the minimum acceptable score of 3 for Questions 1 and or 2 and achieve the overall minimum acceptable weighted score for the quality criteria will be invited to participate in Stage 2. The Authority reserves the right to reject any tender submission during Stage 1, that does not meet the minimum acceptable score of 3 for Questions 1 and or 2, and or any tender submission that does not achieve the minimum acceptable weighted quality score. Stage 2 - Demonstration The Second Stage is the Demonstration Evaluation Stage. Tenderers will be invited to attend a Demonstration and demonstrate their Management System and Web/App solution against set scenarios that have been issued during Stage 1 of the tender. The Evaluation Team will evaluate each scenario. Each scenario is indicated as pass/fail, the response must score a Pass. The Authority will deem any demonstration which scores even just one Fail as non-compliant and reject the tenderer from the process. Following the end of the Demonstration Evaluation the Preferred Tenderer for each Lot will be identified. The Preferred Tenderer will be the tenderer who ranked 1st following the completion of Stage 1 and scored a Pass for all the demonstration scenarios at Stage 2 for each Lot. Further details about Stage 1 and Stage 2 can be found in the associated tender documents - ITT Section E - Stage 1 and 2 Tender Evaluation Plan NEL LEVI Final.
