This ambitious project is supported by up to £3,109,000 of Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding and aims to deliver at least 2,000 publicly accessible charge points by December 2029. The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding is capped at a maximum of £3,109,000 any submission exceeding this figure will be deemed non-complaint and excluded from further evaluation. See tender documents for further details. All proposed charge points must be above-ground installations that comply with current UK safety, accessibility, and maintenance standards. Cornwall Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Expanding EV infrastructure is central to this goal. Our Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EVI) Strategy sets out a vision for a comprehensive, accessible, and reliable charging network that removes barriers to EV adoption for residents and visitors alike. Cornwall is the third largest unitary authority by population and a major tourist destination, with over 4 million overnight visits annually. Nearly two-thirds of residents live in rural or dispersed communities, making on-street and near-home charging essential. ### Strategic Objectives - Deliver a well-maintained, reliable network with excellent uptime and customer experience. - Ensure affordable and transparent pricing, aligned with prevailing market rates. - Provide inclusive access, meeting PAS 1899 accessibility standards wherever practicable. - Support social value commitments, including local employment and zero-emission maintenance vehicles. - Guarantee green energy supply for all charge points. Why Cornwall? - A unique geography with urban, rural, and coastal communities. - Strong tourism economy driving seasonal demand. - A clear strategy supporting sustainable transport and EV uptake. Join us in shaping a cleaner, greener future for Cornwall. This is a rare opportunity to deliver a transformative EV infrastructure programme that supports residents, visitors, and businesses while contributing to national decarbonisation goals. There is a compulsory financial contribution of £60,000 from 1 April 2028, which the Service Provider agrees to pay the Authority annually for the duration of the contract. This financial contribution will be index-linked for annual increase from the anniversary of the first payment to increases in the Retail Price Index (RPI), regardless of income generated.

This opportunity includes a requirement for 2,000 Charge points to be installed, commissioned and operational by 31st December 2029, any submission which falls below this figure will be deemed non-compliant and excluded from further evaluation.
