OLEV - Go Ultra Low On-street Electric Vehicle Charging Prior Information Notice (PIN)

Oxford City Council, as part of its Go Ultra Low On-street project, is conducting some market testing ahead of a possible tender planned for publishing in the coming weeks.

After the successful completion of Phase 1, the GULO project using the lessons learned, intends to launch Phase 2 which will see the installation of up to 100 charging solutions in Oxford City. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is particularly interested in the supply and installation as well as back office provisions of EV charging solutions.

This PIN is for suppliers who are authorised as OLEV suppliers and comply with the OLEV minimum Technical Specifications for Charging Equipment for both "Public Access charging equipment" and Residential On-Street (Restricted access)' for the supply specification, installation, commissioning, testing and ongoing operation, maintenance and inspection of the charging solutions.
