Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council procured three electric passenger cars and three electric vehicle charging points, including cabling, for three new children’s homes. This is a goods requirement covering electric vehicles and battery chargers, with delivery in the South East of England. The procurement is intended to provide transport for the council’s new children’s homes together with the charging infrastructure needed to operate the vehicles. The named buyer is Reading Borough Council. The requirement combines vehicle supply with the provision of associated charging points and cabling, so it is relevant to motor vehicle dealerships, fleet suppliers, electric vehicle distributors and businesses supplying charging equipment or related infrastructure. The published classifications identify passenger cars, electric vehicles and battery chargers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from framework TPPLHCCOP03, covering Lots 1 and 8. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 4:00 pm. The contract was awarded on 16 June 2026 to Pentagon Motor Holdings Ltd for £102,676. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2032. Reading Borough Council’s tender value was also stated as £102,676. The award is active. The process concerned one combined requirement for three electric cars and three charging points, including cabling. The procurement record identifies goods as the main category and confirms that the requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a substantial, defined requirement from Reading Borough Council for electric cars and charging provision supporting children’s homes. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need the ability to provide electric passenger vehicles at fleet scale, alongside compatible charging points and cabling. A credible competitor would be expected to manage the vehicle and charging elements as a coordinated supply package, understand the practical needs of council-operated residential settings and deliver consistently across the South East. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that larger established suppliers or well-resourced specialists are better placed. Experience in public-sector framework call-offs would also be commercially relevant.
