    "description": "Central Bedfordshire Council have been allocated \u00a31,413,000 through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund, which aims to increase the number of on-street low-powered charging points in residential areas and accelerate the commercialisation of this market.\nThe Council requires Service Providers for two concession contracts for the supply, installation, operation, management, and maintenance of a network of public electric vehicle charge points and associated services, at locations across Central Bedfordshire.\nAppointment to these contracts will be done via two separate procurement exercises, split by technology type \u2013 LEVI Tender 1 and LEVI Tender 2. Service Providers can bid for any of the two opportunities but cannot win both.\nLEVI Tender 1 involves the provision of residential charge points both on-street and in hubs (car parks and parking areas) at speeds of 7-22kW. The requirements for this are to deliver a minimum of 500 charge points on-street (Group A locations) and 200 in hub locations (Group B locations). This project will be supplier-funded but supported by \u00a31,298,000 of the Council\u2019s LEVI grant funding allocation.\nLEVI Tender 2 involves the provision of residential charge points specifically within on-street lampposts at speeds of up to 5kW. The requirements for this are to deliver a minimum of 800 charge points on-street (Group A locations). This project will be supplier-funded but supported by \u00a3100,000 of the Council\u2019s LEVI grant funding allocation.\nThe contract term for both contracts is 15 years, with the option to extend by 12 months for administrative purposes.\nBoth opportunities seek to appoint Service Providers who can deliver an end-to-end turnkey solution and demonstrate a commitment to maximising the use of the LEVI funding, whilst also investing in Central Bedfordshire. These partnerships will deliver the objectives of the Central Bedfordshire Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy and meet targets for charge point deployment. Charging infrastructure will be lower-powered and close to residential areas, spread across all settlements in Central Bedfordshire where we have identified need for access to public charging, both now and in the years ahead.\nFull details can be found in the suite of tender documents, including access to our detailed analysis and evidence base.",
