Transport for London has announced plans for a £70m 'procurement framework' to make the capital the leader in electric vehicles, it said this morning (March 19).
London mayor, Boris Johnson, has released details of how 1,000 electric vehicles for the Greater London Authority (GLA) fleet and 8,500 charging points, together worth more than £70 million, will be secured.
TfL has placed two notices in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) which states it aim of creating the UK's largest procurement frameworks to date for electric vehicles and electric vehicle charge point infrastructure.
The next step will see a shortlist of approved suppliers, making it easier and, the mayor hopes, cheaper for TfL to buy points and vehicles.
