To receive a report from the Cabinet Member for Local Economy & Parking

RESOLVED

i)          To award the concession contract to Supplier A as detailed in Appendix 1.

REASON

i)          A fully compliant OJEU process has been undertaken and a supplier has been identified to establish, install and run a County wide network of EV charge points.

The Cabinet Member for Local Economy & Parking reminded Members that an EV Charge Point Strategy had been agreed with WSCC and other local authorities in March 2020.  The Strategy supported the installation of charge points on Council owned land to encourage the take up of electric vehicles.  The tender process to secure a supplier had been conducted and one supplier, a consortium, met all the criteria. This would enable the county to move forward with the Easy Charge network. 

The Cabinet Member agreed that it was vital to achieve a good network, particularly in the light of the government’s phasing out of the manufacture of internal combustion engines by 2030.
