PROC 20 0756 - Provision of Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Generation Support

Description

In 2019, Police Scotland launched its new Fleet Strategy. This 10 year plan sets out the process that the Authority will adhere to in replacing its 3,400 fossil fuel driven fleet with electric vehicles (EVs). As well as purchase of these vehicles, we will also need to implement onsite charging infrastructure in line with the growth of our new electric fleet. In conjunction, Police Scotland is also implementing an Environmental Sustainability Strategy (ESS) in order to improve resource use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emission in line with our duties as a Public Body. Police Scotland is interested in how this new ESS can influence the transition to EVs by providing as much electricity as possible to charging points from onsite renewable sources. In light of this, we require a contractor to support us in reviewing our Estate to identify sites suitable for photovoltaic installation, create detailed designs and installation tender specification as well as installer selection and quality check of resultant installation.
