HCC - 06/25 - Provision of Local Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of Local Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure The purpose of this procurement exercise is to enable prospective Concessionaires to provide a tender laying out how they would introduce additional chargepoints in on-street, off-street and local car park locations across Hertfordshire. Utilising funding provided by the Department for Transport for the LEVI programme; this is a collaborative initiative with Hertfordshire County Council (the lead Highways authority), 10 District and Boroughs within Hertfordshire, inclusive of Parish and Town Councils. The LEVI programme aims to increase the provision of Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure across the county through the installation of EV infrastructure primarily in areas where residents do not have access to off street parking or find it difficult to access a chargepoint. This is particularly important for subsidising areas which are likely to be less commercially attractive to suppliers. The concessionaire(s) will be procured by Hertfordshire County Council ('the Council') on behalf of a consortium of lower tier authorities who have all committed to this programme, and have signed a Collaboration Agreement, which will be appended to the concession contract. The partnership authorities include: Hertfordshire County Council (lead delivery authority) • Broxbourne Borough Council • Dacorum Borough Council • East Hertfordshire District Council • Hertsmere Borough Council • North Hertfordshire District Council • St Albans City and District Council • Stevenage Borough Council • Three Rivers District Council • Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council • Watford Borough Council As a Tranche 1 authority Hertfordshire has received £6,015,000 of LEVI capital funding and expect that this will contribute towards our 2030 targets for electric vehicle charging provision. In line with our strategy the council is seeking service Concessionaires to increase provision of chargepoints, in the following types of locations spread across the county: Council owned car parks for both local and destination charging (there are 26,000 parking spaces and 400 available car parks across the county). For the LEVI fund the carparks in scope would need to be in proximity (roughly 5-min walk) to residential areas and be appropriate for overnight charging. Off-street locations in the form of hubs on other public-owned land On-street – including standalone bollards, hubs, lamp columns. The county has been split into three lots by geographical area. The purpose of this lotting is to provide consumers with options for different CPOs across the county, encourage competition and competitive tariffs and mitigate any risk of a monopoly across the county. Assigning lots as shown below, enables CPOs to provide charging infrastructure in urban and rural locations at a district level with each provider for the 3 lots being assigned a ‘section’ of the County. Lot Title 1 St Albans, Welwyn Hatfield, North Herts 2 Three Rivers, Watford, Hertsmere, Dacorum 3 Stevenage, Broxbourne, East Herts Tenderers may bid for one Lot, two lots, or all three Lots. The ITT Response Document applies commonly to all the relevant Lots selected apart from Bid Form 10 (Scale) which should be completed for each of the individual Lots being bid for. To maintain competition across the county Tenderers will be awarded a maximum of one Lot. Tenders for each Lot must be independent of each other, and not reliant on being awarded multiple Lots. Full details of the requirement and context of the procurement can be found in the Service Specification which is in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Contract Document. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to ‘express an interest’ and also ‘opt in’ which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system.

HCC - 05/25 - The Provision of an Applicant Tracking System

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of an Applicant Tracking System The current contract for the provision of an Applicant Tracking System will expire in March 2026. The primary goal of this procurement is to secure a new contract that aligns with Hertfordshire County Council’s price and quality specifications. In November 2024, PPME was conducted under the PCR2015 ref: 2024/S 000-037432 and by consulting with the following groups: Suppliers registered with the Council’s e-tendering system completed a questionnaire. Other Local Authorities that utilise an Applicant Tracking System and Engagement with internal stakeholders who will be using the system The objectives of this engagement were to: Shape our requirements specification, Understand how the market has evolved and what new functionalities are available since the Council last tendered for this contract. Determine contract length and budgets that are suitable for both the Council and Suppliers, ensuring they align with our requirements. Assist with establishing timelines for the procurement process, including implementation and mobilisation period. Explore future innovations in the sector that could be incorporated into the contract during this term. Provide evidence to support our key requirement of making the system user-friendly and enabling the automation of processes to reduce manual administration. The findings from the PPME have been factored into the agreed tender process and supporting documentation. Since the Council published its PPME, the English Devolution white paper, was published in December 2024. It outlines the Central Government’s plan to reform local government. These changes are expected to occur during the tenure of this Contract, potentially altering the structure, shape and size of the organisation, though the specifics are currently unknown. Therefore, the services of this Contract may be expanded, contracted, or otherwise adjusted by mutual agreement with the successful Tenderer to reflect changes in local or regional priorities arising from devolution. Any changes shall be subject to a Variation procedure and priced accordingly and must be in accordance with public procurement legislation and Council contracting regulations. The Contract has not been split into lots as the Council is purchasing one solution to be managed by one central team, the Applicant Tracking System purchased will fulfil all our requirements and it is not reasonably practicable for it to be supplied by more than one Supplier. The Council will procure this contract using the Competitive Flexible Procedure as defined in the Procurement Act 2023, which will allow us to run a multistage procurement process as explained above. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to ‘express an interest’ and also ‘opt in’ which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system.
