Electric Vehicle Charging

In November 2018, the Council adopted the Telford and Wrekin Ultra-low Emission Vehicle Strategy, which recognises the significant benefits of ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEV), particularly in relation to air quality and public health. Whilst the expectation is that most ULEV owners will choose to charge at home, we want to see a coordinated network of charging points that will give residents and visitors the confidence to use ULEVs in Telford, as well as encourage the uptake of ULEV vehicles and respond to the increasing demand for public electric vehicle chargepoints. The Council is seeking to engage with suppliers/agents to understand what options are available from an infrastructure and operational perspective, especially with regard to future proofing and minimising the risk to the Council. As part of this market engagement exercise we have uploaded a questionnaire for suppliers/agents to complete — the aim of the questionnaire is to help us to understand what infrastructure, operational and delivery options are available, indicative costs and revenue generation opportunities. We may invite suppliers/agents to further discuss opportunities with Officers from the Transport Strategy team. The questionnaire is available on www.delta-esourcing.com and you must register on this site to respond. Suppliers must log in and add the Tender Access Code P45EKCW9M2 following any instructions provided.
