Description

ECW was formerly known as the Cheshire & Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (C&W LEP). It is also responsible for promoting Cheshire and Warrington as a great place to visit, live, work, invest and study through Marketing Cheshire, which is an integral part of ECW and is designated by Visit England as the sub-region's Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP).

Following completion of our recent 'Delivery of the North West Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster Plan' workstream, and support to Net Zero North West to establish its new business model, ECW are looking to further support the delivery of industrial decarbonisation alongside Net Zero North West (NZNW) and the North West Net Zero Hub via the creation of a comprehensive data platform (Project Intelligence Platform - PIP). 

The Platform is required to enable the industrial decarbonisation cluster to have access to as comprehensive and usable set of data as possible about the industrial decarbonisation projects in the pipeline and ultimately underway/delivered. This will ensure that the cluster can continue to realise the investment required, support the job creation, and carbon reduction goals essential for our regional transition to a low-carbon economy and the platform itself will need to enable the wider partnership to measure and demonstrate progress / success to wider stakeholders such as government and investors. 

This procurement exercise is being conducted as a below threshold open tender. The tender documents comprise this ITT document and any other supporting documents. This procurement seeks specialist support from a high-quality supplier to deliver the development (stage 1) and population (stage 2) of a comprehensive Project Intelligence Platform (PIP).

The successful bidder will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and thus your understanding of our requirements is reflected in your Pricing Schedule return. 

The contract is expected to commence Wednesday 16th January 2025 with the exact dates to be agreed depending on the agreement between the successful provider and ECW.

The Development of a Feasibility Study to Assess EV Refuelling across Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Warrington

The purpose of this study is to assess the technical and practical viability of EV charging infrastructure across the pre-identified sites, considering space requirements, grid capacity and necessary infrastructure, planning constraints, wider operational needs and forecast demand patterns within the individual sites. In doing so, the outcome will be a robust strategic evidence base with a set of recommendations to inform future investment decisions, ensuring that infrastructure development is aligned with local transport strategies and net zero goals. This work builds on current EV project and local authority climate and EV strategies. These projects include the delivery of LEVI and ZEBRA funding to accelerate uptake of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). These existing initiatives have supported the installation of public charging points and fleet electrification, such as the ZEBRA-funded Warrington Own Buses which are now operational. ECW are therefore looking to appoint consultants to collaborate with Local Authority partners to support further EV development across the subregion. Consultants will be expected to draw on existing data and conduct additional research to recommend an appropriate mix of chargers that meets both current and anticipated needs across the identified sites. • Production of a desk-based feasibility study to examine the EV refuelling opportunities across the three LA areas in Cheshire and Warrington • The consultant should be prepared to carry out stakeholder engagement and consultation • The completion date of the study will be Friday 28th November 2025 • This contract with commence Thursday 14th August 2025 • Study outputs for each site: • Assess constraints at each site in terms of electrical capacity, accessibility, and planning control. This includes accessibility for different goods vehicles to the sites (including HGVs) • Recommend the most suitable commercial model, with clear justification for each • Recommend a minimum chargepoint scenario for each site for a given split in charging facilities for HGV and other fleet vehicles based on the location, local traffic flow, and desk-based research into demand in the local area with delivery of each site scaled to be feasible in 2030. • Provide detail of other infrastructure or ancillary services required to deliver the site. • Develop a high-level outline business case for each site, including: o Recommendations for the most suitable commercial model for delivery and methodology used - this would include an assessment into a fully-funded Charge Point Operator (CPO) with a net revenue share commission for the local authority with a comparison to a local authority owned and financed model with a partnership with the CPO as the operator. o Evaluation of the commercial model options to understand the criteria which will make sites most commercially appealing at this scale, including key data such as rental per charging bay per year, pence per kWh revenue share, a mix per bay rental and a revenue share above a certain threshold etc. o A summary of technical delivery considerations, including using tools developed by TfN and DNOs. This could include a consideration of the economics of phasing of installations or battery installation to counter grid constraints that are present. o Estimated CO2e emissions savings from provision of this installation The consultant will also need to provide a summary report, drawing on findings at all three sites presenting the wider investment case across the three locations.

The Development of a Feasibility Study to Assess EV Refuelling across Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Warrington

Cheshire and Warrington is one of the UK's economic success stories and the most productive economy in the North of England. Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Working in collaboration with local government, businesses, educational institutes and other public, private and community sector organisations, we keep Cheshire and Warrington firmly on the map. Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), in partnership with the three local authorities (Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East, and Warrington), is commissioning a feasibility study to explore the potential for electric vehicle (EV) charging on Council-owned land. As each local authority are progressing towards their respective Net Zero targets, there is an increasing need to understand how best to support the electrification of Council fleets and freight vehicles, including heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). These sites all present strategic importance, all within close proximity to major road networks, nearby to service stations, and areas with high business activity. This feasibility will therefore seek to support the Local Authorities in their ambition to expand the EV charging infrastructure availability in the subregion to expand EV usage. The purpose of this study is to assess the technical and practical viability of EV charging infrastructure across the pre-identified sites, considering space requirements, grid capacity and necessary infrastructure, planning constraints, wider operational needs and forecast demand patterns within the individual sites. In doing so, the outcome will be a robust strategic evidence base with a set of recommendations to inform future investment decisions, ensuring that infrastructure development is aligned with local transport strategies and net zero goals. This work builds on current EV project and local authority climate and EV strategies. These projects include the delivery of LEVI and ZEBRA funding to accelerate uptake of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). These existing initiatives have supported the installation of public charging points and fleet electrification, such as the ZEBRA-funded Warrington Own Buses which are now operational. ECW are therefore looking to appoint consultants to collaborate with Local Authority partners to support further EV development across the subregion. The contract is expected to commence Tuesday 12th August
