Days after winning the bid to install charging infrastructure in northern Illinois, United States, Blink Charging continues to gain the trust of both companies and public sector institutions to consolidate its leadership position in electromobility.
Through an official statement, the company informed that it was awarded a contract with the Florida Sheriffs’ Association Cooperative Purchasing Program (CPP) to provide supply points for electric vehicles.
FSA Executive Director Steve Casey noted that this agreement with Blink will streamline the integration and execution of electric vehicle deployment for local governments and municipalities, improving mobility and safety for increasing numbers of citizens.”
“The Florida Sheriffs’ Association (FSA) Cooperative Purchasing Program (CPP) is pleased to welcome Blink to our new electric vehicle charging stations and software contract,” he said.
The CPP, which is a cooperation of the Florida Sheriffs’ Association with the Association of Counties and the State Fire Chiefs’ Association, offers streamlined statewide purchasing contracts for local governments, county sheriffs, county government, local boards, municipalities, law enforcement agencies, other local public or public safety agencies, and state colleges and universities.
The Program provides value to public procurement departments, enabling agencies to aggregate demand to purchase electric vehicle hardware and services from pre-selected electric vehicle charging suppliers, including Blink.
As a CPP provider, Blink’s products will be widely available to members, giving them direct access to charging solutions. This pact gives Blink the potential to reach and contract with thousands of state and local agencies, municipalities and educational organizations throughout Florida.
