Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) is looking to engage with suppliers / manufacturers who can supply five electric vans on a short term trial basis (12 months) to support an EV home charger trial.
This trial will take place within the Councils Housing Department where ninety-one diesel vans are currently under contract. This trial will inform future decisions and the long-term plans / aspirations for the wider fleet in support of the Councils carbon reduction goals.
Details of the vehicles required can be found on etenderWales or can be requested by emailing procurement@wrexham.gov.uk (this notice does not allow the Council to upload attachments currently). If a supplier is unable to comply with the Councils requirements but may be able to comply with these requirements in the next 12 months, please detail this within your response to the Council.
It is the Councils preferred option to source electric vans that comply with the ISO 1158-2 standard for Plug & Charge and / or the Auto Charge feature. The purpose for this is to support the automatic reconciliation / payment of vehicle charge costs with the ability to distinguish between vehicles when using a home charger, i.e. a Council vehicle and personal vehicle.
If a supplier is aware of an alternative solution that can meet this requirement without the need for the ISO 1158-2 standard or the Auto Charge feature, please detail this within your response.
If any supplier is capable and interested in suppling these five vans, please email a brief overview of your vehicles / offering to procurement@wrexham.gov.uk.
