Summary of the contracting process

The Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Pilot Scheme, managed by Warrington Borough Council, is a prominent public procurement process aimed at developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure across various regions in the United Kingdom. The industry categories involved include battery chargers, electric vehicles, and public road transport services. The procurement originally ended on 4th September 2023, with the contract spanning from 4th March 2024 to 3rd March 2039. The process adopted a restricted procedure, focusing on a selective procurement method, and is targeted primarily at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Warrington Borough Council, the buying organisation, has already completed the procurement, with the latest award announced on 21st January 2026, and the procurement currently in the award stage.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the supply, installation, and maintenance of electric vehicle infrastructure. SMEs specialising in groundworks, software solutions, and customer support for EV infrastructures would find this contract particularly advantageous due to the extensive scope and the long duration of the contract period. The project encourages SMEs to grow by partnering in a future-focused initiative aimed at expanding the UK's EV infrastructure. Existing suppliers, such as Connected Kerb Limited and Liberty Charge, indicate the project's appeal to firms capable of offering comprehensive end-to-end services in electric mobility.
