The Director of Resources and Housing:
1. Approved the receipt of funding from the Office for Low Emission
Vehicles and subsequent injection of £97,500.00 grant funding
into the Early Measures Capital Scheme.
2. Authorised the expenditure of the £97,500.00 ORCS external
grant funding to cover the work streams itemised above.
3. Authorised expenditure of up to 7.5% of the total project cost
(£9,750) from the Early Measures budget to cover capital
costs. (There is an existing ring fenced budget for public charge
point delivery within this scheme).
4. Approved the additional investment of £22,750 that will be
provided by the charge point operator. This funding will be the
operator’s contribution to the overall costs of the scheme
and will not be received by the authority. This provides a total
expenditure of £130,000 for the scheme, of which
£107,250 is from the capital budget secured by SEAQ from
external funding.
5. Approved the award of this work directly to EB Charging Ltd in
line with the reasoning in 3.3 and 3.4 through the approved KCS
framework contract.
6. Noted the consideration of the adoption of NetX technology at
agreed EV charge-point sites. This technology is being developed by
EB Charging Ltd as part of an Innovate UK funded trial project and
has the potential to increase the charging capacity by 1:3,
extending the charging infrastructure that can be delivered through
this project and maximising the outputs possible from the OLEV
award. This additional charge capacity will be added outside of the
delivery of the ORCS project, so further approval will be sought if
this additional scheme is to be delivered.
