#38868 - EV Charge Point Management System (CPMS) Procurement

Description

Network Rail is undertaking a Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Programme across a wide range of built assets in all UK regions. This project is part of Network Rail's commitment to the Government's Road to Zero strategy, aiming to achieve zero carbon emissions through the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The programme supports Network Rail's overarching Environmental Sustainability Strategy, which outlines our targets to reduce carbon and energy consumption across all operations. As one of the largest electricity consumers in the UK, Network Rail has set ambitious targets to decarbonise both traction and non-traction electricity consumption. This will be achieved, in part, through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that stabilise electricity costs, provide long-term financial resilience, and directly contribute to our decarbonisation goals. The scope of this procurement event focuses on the implementation of a Charge Point Management System (CPMS) that will underpin Network Rail's electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure across its sites. The CPMS will play a critical role in supporting Network Rail's sustainability objectives by ensuring the efficient management, monitoring, and optimisation of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This will contribute to the broader decarbonisation efforts and the transition towards energy-efficient operations. The system to be procured must integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, provide real-time data on performance and usage, enable smart charging capabilities to optimise energy consumption, and support billing and payment processes. Furthermore, the CPMS must be scalable to accommodate future expansion, supporting Network Rail's target to manage up to 10,000 charge points within the next five years.
