Award a concession contract to the winning supplier, to deliver Local Electric Vehicle (LEVI) funded electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI) in Oxford City Council car parks.

The Deputy Leader, and Cabinet Member for a Zero Carbon Oxford decides as follows:

1. Award a concession contract for the delivery of Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) chargepoint installations for a period of 15 years to the winning supplier.

To support our carbon action plan and ensure that all residents without a driveway have the option, upon purchasing an electric vehicle, to charge their vehicle locally/within a reasonable distance from their home.

1.    Allow others (main corporates) to install EV chargepoints around the City. This gives the Council no control over the locations and could leave Oxford City with a lack of EV chargepoints, being detrimental to residents and visitors alike.

2.    Do not award the Contract to the winning supplier, which could have 2 effects, A. City goes out to tender to award their own contract without any LEVI funding available to installers or B. City withdraw entirely from installing EV chargers, which may leave residents and visitors with no EV chargepoints locations in the City.
