“We’re excited to have a contract with Sourcewell, to make our EV chargers available to the municipal and nonprofit entities that Sourcewell serves. As more and more drivers transition to EVs, the installation and availability of reliable charging infrastructure is critical. We are optimistic that this Sourcewell contract will help municipalities streamline the procurement process, making it easier to get Blink EV Charging stations installed in local communities and help further the acceleration of electric vehicle use”
- Michael Battaglia, Senior Vice President of Blink.
The Benefits of Using Sourcewell
Participation with Sourcewell is FREE, with no obligation to purchase. All government agencies, public and private schools/colleges, and nonprofit organizations can register free of charge. Additionally, Sourcewell contracts eliminate the complex challenges that traditional Request for Procurement (RFP) typically presents. In our experience, two obstacles make the RFP process more complicated than using Sourcewell. First, RFPs can limit the quantity and quality of responses a government agency may receive. Additionally, responding to RFPs is a complicated process, and a business may decide not to respond to the RFP for various reasons. And those that do respond may not have the solution a government agency seeks. Moreover, the RFP process is very time-consuming and this can result in the agency taking months from writing the solicitation to awarding a contract.
