Cheshire East Council is commissioning an EV Car Club to be used by the council to replace the current pool car facility and encourage the uptake of a car club to the wider public. The decision to direct award on the contract through the CCS framework has been taken after the issue of a PIN notice and consultation with procurement. The initial 4 vehicles will be a mix of three EV plus either a Hybrid EV/ICE or low emissions vehicles, targeted at becoming fully EV as infrastructure allows. As the success of the scheme is understood more vehicles may be provisioned for public use under a separate procurement. The total estimated contract value over 3 years is up to £65,000.
