ChargePoint announced that it has been awarded a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract to provide EV charging solutions to public agencies in the U.S. and Canada. The contract marks ChargePoint’s third agreement with Sourcewell, with the first being signed in 2017. As part of the new agreement, ChargePoint will deploy its chargers, software, and services for entities such as municipalities, transit authorities, and public schools.Sourcewell is a self-funded governmental organisation which was established in 1978. It facilitates a cooperative purchasing program that harnesses the collective purchasing power of more than 50,000 participating agencies to streamline public bidding processes. As the organisation writes, “By streamlining procurement with pre-negotiated, competitive pricing contracts, Sourcewell enables government, educational, and nonprofit organizations to secure cost-effective and efficient purchasing solutions.”“This latest agreement extends our longstanding relationship with Sourcewell to accelerate and simplify the adoption of EV charging solutions for local governments, schools and other public agencies,” said David Vice, Chief Revenue Officer at ChargePoint. “Over the course of our relationship we’ve enabled hundreds of Sourcewell member agencies go electric, meeting their sustainability and ESG goals.”This is not the only new deal that Sourcewell has signed, as The Mobility House has also been awarded a purchasing contract for EV chargers, charge management software, and consulting services for fleet operators in the United States and Canada.Zoheb Davar, VP of Business Development and Growth, The Mobility House North America, explained how this will help TMH’s plans for the continent in the long run: “This contract expands our ability to serve public sector fleets throughout North America by reducing their procurement timeline and helping the customer find a trusted technology partner like The Mobility House.”
