Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress she has made on the development of a standardised tender structure for local authorities to submit to charge point operators for public access electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department provides significant support to local authorities under the Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund, including resource funding which can support procurement, alongside central procurement advice through the LEVI Support Body.
The Department has also been working with the Crown Commercial Service to assist local authorities with their procurement. This includes developing a suite of customisable procurement documents, which have been shared with the industry and local authorities for feedback and are now being finalised.
