- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
Procurement process for the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington, to appoint a charge point operator to supply, install, operate, maintain and decommission charge points (at the contract end if necessary), a minimum of 1,100 lamp column electric vehicle charge points (EVCPs) under the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme. Of this, Camden and Islington require minimums of 500 and 600 charge points respectively.
The procurement is being conducted jointly because LEVI funding requires that London boroughs procure in partnership to achieve scalability; ie. to encourage Charge Point Operator (CPO) investment to install more charge points for the funding. Hence Camden and Islington make up London Partnership 1.
The capital costs of the project will be fully covered by a combination of LEVI funding (£1,212,250) and the charge point operator (any costs over and above £1,212,250).
The procurement will result in a single operator being appointed for both boroughs, with contracts being executed separately between the successful operator and each Borough.
It should be noted that for Camden, the project capital costs will need to include the provision of 500 new lamp columns for charge points to be installed which are anticipated to be delivered under the Council's existing public realm maintenance and improvements contracts.
