Issue details

VPACH (Virgin Park & Charge) project will provide electric vehicle charging in residential areas as a proxy for home charging for residents without access to off-street parking (“the Project”). The Project recognises that the economics for on-street residential charging are challenging and so VPACH is a consortium supported by Innovate UK to install on-street charging solutions for hard to address areas using the network assets of Virgin Media.

This report requests that the Council enter into a Framework Agreement and subsequent Call-off Contracts with the consortium’s only approved charge point operator, Liberty Charge Limited (“Liberty Charge”), to supply, install, maintain and operate the charge points in H&F at identified sites in the borough.
