To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown by local authority area of the companies awarded contracts to assume the administration of the public electric vehicle charging points previously operated under ChargePlace Scotland, and how many compliant bids were received for each contract.
Scottish Government currently funds the operation of ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) under a single supplier framework agreement, however, public charge points on the CPS network are not owned by the Scottish Government.
Charge points on the ChargePlace Scotland network are owned by approximately 400 public, private and third sector organisations that are each responsible for awarding contracts for the future operation of the public EV charging points they own. Specific information on current or future contractual arrangements for the operation of these public charge points would need to be requested from their respective owners.
Where a contract is awarded by a public body and subject to Public Procurement Regulations, information on that procurement procedure will be published on the Public Contracts Scotland website.
