Description of the procurement
The FASTER project is a joint cross border project across Scotland, the border Counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland to support the overarching ambition to transition to low carbon transport systems and to demonstrate how each of the three jurisdictions can provide early systems learning in relation to the electrification of transport. There is a total of seven project partners and 15 associate partners from across the three jurisdictions. The partnership will implement the physical rollout of 73 rapid charging stations in the programme area. Led by East Border Region Ltd. the project has considered the common policy ambition across Scotland, Ireland, and Northern Ireland, which is to transition to a low carbon transport system between now and 2040. One of the main barriers to the take up of these electric vehicles is the lack of public charging infrastructure and in particular rapid charging locations. The project aims to ensure that the availability of charging stations is not a major obstacle to Electric Vehicle (EV) market penetration with the proposal to carry out the design, analysis, procurement, installation, and operation of 73 Rapid Chargers (60kw per charger with the capacity to deliver 120kw where only one car is connected to the charger) across the three programme jurisdictions. There must be cross compatibility between the three jurisdictions which may be achieved using contactless card payments or other methods. The FASTER project has been awarded funding for the project’s capital costs from the European Union’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Funding of operational and maintenance expenditure is the responsibility of LCC and their border county delivery partners.
