LOT ONE-Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) is looking to, to purchase four single deck electric buses, along with associated tethered plug-in vehicle charging equipment. These zero emission vehicles are to be used on NCC's bus services.These routes will form part of NCC's supported bus service network and will initially be operated by NCC. The routes will be operated in a suburban environment in the Rushcliffe and Mansfield areas of Nottinghamshire. Each vehicle covers between 191 miles/307 kilometres and 224 miles/360 kilometres per day including dead mileage, the Peak Vehicle Rate (PVR) is four vehicles.
Tenders are invited for the supply of vehicles and equipment, from a single source of supply, in respect of operating the bus services detailed within this document, using electric, low floor accessible buses, along with associated tethered plug-in charging equipment. Each vehicle must be certified as an Ultra-Low Emissions Bus at point of delivery.
Full specifications of Nottinghamshire County Councils requirements are included in the invitation to tender documents.
The budget for the vehicles and charging equipment described in Lot 1 is £1.452 million (excluding VAT). Bids that are over this value will be regarded as non-compliant and will not be evaluated.Full details of this procurement are included in the invitation to tender documents, re DN 431291. LOT 2 Leicester City Council (LCC) is seeking to purchase five single-deck single entrance fully electric buses for operation on the Birstall Park and Ride 303 route. Route details and timetable can be found in Part 3B of the tender documents.
This service currently has a peak vehicle requirement of 3 buses and one operational branded spare. Each bus has a weekday mileage of around 140 miles. There are aspirations to increase frequency in the near future, which would increase the PVR to 4 buses.
All buses will have a length of up to 12.5 metres and capacity for at least 58 persons and a minimum 35 seats and one wheelchair space.
LCC will ideally be looking for a solution which provides the maximum operating distance on a single overnight charge (less than 6 hours) from a dedicated charging depot at Birstall Park and Ride site. As well as avoiding the requirement for any in-service charging, this allows flexible use of the vehicles on other services should this be required.
