Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority is initiating a tender process for the "West Midlands and Warwickshire EV Chargepoints" project, which falls under the electric vehicles industry category. This planning stage is set to explore emerging good practices in the supply and installation of electric vehicle charging points. Key milestones include an engagement end date on 11th February 2021, with a Supplier Engagement Event scheduled for 12th February 2021 via MS Teams. Interested parties must register through the WMCA's e-tendering portal, BravoSolution, by noon on 11th February 2021 to participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure and technology, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies well-versed in charging point installation, electrical engineering, and sustainable transport solutions would be particularly suited to compete. Engaging in this process not only allows businesses to contribute to the region's green initiatives but also to build relationships with a key public organisation, which may lead to further contracts in the future.
