II.1) DESCRIPTION
II.1.1) Title attributed to contract by the contracting authority (as stated in the original notice) UK-St Leonards-on-Sea: Department for Transport: Office for Low Emissions Vehicles (OLEV) Plug-In Car Grant Delivery Agent
II.1.2) Short description of the contract or purchase(s) (as stated in the original notice) The Department, on behalf of The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) wishes to contract with an administrator to perform checks on low emission vehicle registration documents and subsequently administer financial incentives for these vehicles to manufacturers, and provide OLEV with necessary updates, reports and records relating to this administration. OLEV requires a delivery agent to administer a grant worth 25% up to GBP 5,000 to car manufacturers who will reduce the cost of eligible ultra-low carbon vehicles to consumers. The grant amount may vary over time and consequently so may the number of vehicles to be supported by the scheme, but it is likely that the purchase of between 40,000 and 70,000 cars will be subsidised by the scheme from early 2011 - 31 March 2014. The delivery agent will process applications received from dealerships or manufacturers, decide if the payment of the grant is applicable, verify the amount of grant and subsequently instigate the monetary transfer from DfT finance to the relevant manufacturers. The delivery agent will also monitor the progress of the scheme and provide regular reports to OLEV. It will need to work in conjunction with OLEV, DfT finance, car dealerships, manufacturers, the DVLA and potentially consumers, in order to insure the timely repayment to the manufacturers of the incentive. The agent will not be required to publicise the scheme in any way and no marketing or promotional activities or costs should be included in the main price of the tender. However, should organisations have suggestions or innovative ideas for adding value or collaborating in this area, we would welcome these as a separately detailed element. Detail outlined in this notice is subject to ministerial announcements and may change. There may be a review point during the scheme at which grant values or other details may change, depending on the uptake of vehicles. It is also possible that the contract with the administrator may be extended beyond March 2014. The delivery agent may operate from its preferred location, but must be available for meetings in London as requested. The delivery agent may be required to work in conjunction with OLEV, the DVLA, car manufacturers and dealerships. The delivery agent may at any time during the contract be called upon to provide relevant advice and assistance, and may be required to provide details and assistance with financial accounting. Further information on OLEV can be found at : http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/sustainable/ol OLEV will be holding a briefing session 14:00 to 16:00 Thursday 25 March 2010 to provide an arena for potential bidders to find out more details about the scheme (this session will be ran in conjunction with a briefing session related to the procurement of a delivery body for the Plugged-in-Places scheme.)
