Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council, along with several other Scottish local authorities, is planning a procurement process titled "South of Scotland Electric Vehicle Charging Delivery Partner" under the electricity distribution and related services industry category. This multi-regional initiative covers areas such as Edinburgh, Dumfries and Galloway, West Lothian, Midlothian, Scottish Borders, Clackmannanshire, Fife, and Falkirk. The procurement stage is currently in planning, with the tender expected to be released in Spring 2025. Key dates include a future notice date set for 5th May 2025. The envisaged contract will involve managing and expanding the existing public electric vehicle charging infrastructure, approximately 600 chargepoints across the South of Scotland, with plans to increase this number by around 1800 chargepoints by 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the electric vehicle charging sector to expand their operations and contribute to regional infrastructure development. Chargepoint Operators (CPOs) with experience in providing a combination of charging solutions and managing large-scale networks will be well-suited to compete. The contract encourages innovative approaches and consortium or subcontracting arrangements, making it a promising opportunity for businesses aiming to deliver diverse and tailored charging options, particularly in rural or underserved areas. The project also involves substantial private capital investment, supported by grant funding from Transport Scotland, aligning with the priorities set by the EVIF programme and local authorities to ensure a comprehensive and accessible charging network.
