West Midlands LEVI Capital Fund
Authority: West Midlands Combined Authority (Local council)
What is being bought5 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe UK Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund supports local authorities in England to work with the chargepoint industry, to improve the roll out and commercialisation of local charging infrastructure. These public chargepoints will help residents who don’t have access to off-street parking and need to charge their electric vehicles (EVs). The LEVI Capital fund aims to:
- deliver a step-change in the deployment of local, primarily low power, on-street charging infrastructure across England
- accelerate the commercialisation of, and investment in, the local charging infrastructure sector
WMCA on behalf of Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) and the 7 constituent LA areas of the West Midlands are seeking providers of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EVI) to deliver and manage a range of EVI solutions that will support its residents without the ability to charge off-street at home from their own residential electricity supply.
The Authorities intend to enter into Concession Contracts with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) or other parties that will fund and deliver the required services, namely a network of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging spaces that meet the needs of local residents and demonstrably support the WMCA’s and constituent LAs’ EVI strategies, in-line with the requirements of the LEVI funding.

Publisher note: WMCA will be undertaking a Market Engagement exercise to engage with providers of electric vehicle infrastructure in order to provide a better understanding of the solutions available in the market and to help inform on the most appropriate/desirable procurement route to facilitate delivery of the programme. The event will also be used to provide interested parties with more detail on the programme and to answer any questions that the market may bring. The Market Engagement Event will be held via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 24th September 2024 from 10:00 – 12:00. If you are interested in attending this event, please register your interest by email to william.pemberton@wmca.org.uk. Once interest has been registered, WMCA will issue interested organisations with further detail on the planned procurement and a pre-market questionnaire. The questionnaire will be used to support the market engagement and to get the honest views and thoughts of the market on their most preferable and viable route to market and contract setup. No questions will be scored and there will be no word limits for your responses. Responses will not impact participation in or evaluation of any future opportunity, therefore we encourage organisations to be honest and open.
