Tender: Construction and Development of 800+ Space Car Park with EV Charging at Cardiff International Sports Village

About

Cardiff Council is seeking a developer/contractor to finance, design and construct a new car park on its International Sports Village site in Cardiff Bay with a minimum of 800 spaces, including at least 10% EV charging infrastructure in accordance with planning policy, plus appropriate lighting and associated landscaping as set out in the Scope. The Authority will make a maximum contribution of up to £3m (excluding VAT) toward delivery while estimating total scheme costs at around £4.5m (exclusive of VAT), and intends to make staged/milestone payments during construction (details in tender documents) that are not negotiable. The Authority plans to acquire the completed scheme on practical completion, retain responsibility for operation and maintenance and keep all income from operation; suppliers will not be required to operate or maintain the scheme, though the successful supplier may have opportunities to independently operate EV spaces and/or develop/exploit the Site (including renewable energy-related infrastructure such as additional EV charging, solar canopies, small aero mines and battery storage) to assist financing, governed by a lease negotiated during dialogue. This opportunity is being procured as a concession contract through a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023; related documents and the Procurement Specific Questionnaire are available via the online portal.
