Go Ultra Low Oxford (GULO) Sale of Equipment and Grant Agreement with Oxford City Council

This decision achieves the following key outcomes:

 

-          OCC will receive the necessary grant funding contribution from OxCity to be able to pay its chosen supplier (Connected Kerb) to deliver an additional 140 new GULO-funded chargers within its wider LEVI contract

-          The Department for Transport grant funded GULO will successfully be completed – meeting OxCity’s obligations to the funders at the Department of Transport and providing an additional 140 public EV charging sockets in Oxford

-          The existing estate of GULO P1 chargers will be operated by Connected Kerb under the OCC contract and will continue to provide a valuable service for residents

The responsibility for on-street public charging will sit with OCC which is clearer, more appropriate and easier to manage contractually than the prior temporary arrangements
