        "description": "In alignment with the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland\u2019s vision for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI), the Glasgow City Region(GCR) member authorities aim to support the expansion of a comprehensive network of publicly accessible EVCI across the region.\nThis expansion will be driven by leveraging private sector expertise and capital. It creates a charging network that complements standalone private investment beyond the scope of this initiative.\nIn doing so, GCR aims to work with a CPO through a concession contract that will deliver a comprehensive, convenient, reliable and accessible charging network that meets the needs of users.\nThe CPO will install, own, maintain and operate the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and any Ancillary Equipment other than that which the Member Authorities have a regulatory duty to adopt.\nThe CPO will be entitled to charge Electric Vehicle Owners for use of the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure.\nThe CPO will be responsible for financing the costs of designing, purchasing, installing, operating, maintaining and upgrading of EV infrastructure net of any capital funding made available to the CPO by the council through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund or with the local authorities of the GCR as may be agreed with them on an ad-hoc basis.\nThe contract will include:\ni.The migration of 627 chargepoints across 305 locations for standard, fast and rapid chargepoints onto the CPO\u2019s back-office system.This will require to take place within a 3-month period in order to meet the deadline of the ending of the Charge Place Scotland service.\nii.\tInstallation and operation of a minimum of 3,034 additional chargepoints on sites owned or controlled by the MAs (car parks and on-street locations) to be agreed between the MAs and CPO following contract award.\nTo ensure the equitable geographic deployment of new charge points throughout GCR, the deployment programme will require to be undertaken across the 8 MAs at an annual rate proportionate to a MA\u2019s population share within GCR so that the delivery does not favour one geographic area over another.It may also include the installation of additional sites which can be requested by the Lead Authority or proposed by the CPO.\nCompletion timeline period for the new installation of the 3,034 additional charge points is expected to be up to 5 years from contract signing.\nThe contract term will be 20 years.\nTurnover - at the present time it is estimated that the turnover, over the 20-year contract term and based on an assumption of inflation at 2.5% per annum, will be in the region of GBP 785 million (excluding VAT).\nGrant Funding - Glasgow City Council, on behalf of the 8 MAs has been allocated a grant of up to GBP 3,300,000 from Transport Scotland\u2019s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund to in connection with the delivery of the project.\nBidders are requested to review Document Two - Invitation to Participate which contains the details of the minimum requirements for this procurement within section 3.",
