The Electric Recharge network - Supplier day

The Liverpool City Region is hosting a Supplier Day on 12th August at 10.30 for Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Manufacturers, Installers and Back Office Providers. The Recharge network is the name given to the Liverpool City Region's electric vehicle recharging network. Partners in the Recharge Network include the six Local Authorities which make up the Liverpool City Region (Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral), Network Rail, Merseyrail and several NHS Trusts in the region. There are currently 52 publicly available charge points at 20 sites across the City Region. including council owned car parks, leisure centres, rail stations and hospital sites. The charge posts are dual headed 7kw fast chargers. Currently no rapid posts are part of the Recharge network. The back office is currently operated by Charge Your Car and there is currently no tariff set on the network. The Supplier Day is a precursor to a procurement exercise which will look for consortium bidders to provide their best offer for the operation and maintenance of the existing Recharge network and the supply and install of new EV charge points across the City Region which will need to be at zero cost to the partners in the Recharge Network. Electric vehicle charge point manufacturers, back office providers and installers are invited to the day to find out more about the current Recharge Network and to understand the aspirations for the network in the future. The session will also include an opportunity for networking and to discuss proposals with the Recharge partners. Please Note: In order to attend you will need to Book a place on to the supplier day.
