Essex County Council ('the Authority') requires Service Providers for four concession contracts to install, manage, maintain, and replace as required, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure. The outcome of these four contracts shall be to establish an integrated Electric Vehicle Charge Point network across Essex, constituted of a cumulative minimum of 5,000 Installed and Operational Sockets available for public use, particularly designed for the needs of Users without access to off-street parking. The Authority has created a list of Specified Sites, where the Service Provider will be required to Install and make Operational Charge Point Sockets within 2 Years of the Contract Commencement Date. The Service Provider shall also install Charge Point Sockets at Additional Sites chosen by themselves within 5 Years of the Contract Commencement Date.
