Tender description

Places for London Limited (Places for London), a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL) has undertaken a procurement process to appoint a Joint Venture (JV) partner to design, build, operate and maintain an initial five (5) Electric Vehicle Charging Hubs as well as carrying out ancillary and/or complementary development and use of the sites where relevant. The aim of the JV partnership is to scale up delivery over time, with ambitions for up to 65 sites to be delivered. In collaboration with a Joint Venture partner, Places for London is looking to position TfL in the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging growth market, utilising TfL land to develop EV charging infrastructure.   The objective of the JV is to generate, long-term sustainable and growing dividends for the JV participants by delivering material improvements in the number, distribution, accessibility and sustainability of EV charging infrastructure; all of which will directly contribute to London's transition to a net-zero carbon city. Lot 1: Places for London's Joint Venture (JV) proposition is based on it holding a minority share (49 per cent) in a JV company which will design, build, operate, and maintain industry-leading electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as ancillary and/or complementary facilities, on up to five (5) properties initially. The participants in the JV company are a Places for London subsidiary company and the successful bidder. Up to five (5) hub sites will form the scope of the initial opportunity, but this may be scaled up to circa sixty-five (65) hub sites over the full term of the JV. It is envisaged the lease for each site will be thirty (30) years, however, due to the phasing of sites potentially being in scope the JV itself will run for at least fifty (50) years. The value stated in this Concession Notice is the estimated turnover the appointed JV partner may receive for all circa sixty-five (65) hub sites excluding VAT. Additional information: It is envisaged the lease for each site will be thirty (30) years, however, due to the phasing of sites potentially being in scope the JV itself will run for at least fifty (50) years.
