Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales embarked on a competitive flexible procedure to facilitate the installation and management of Electric Vehicle Charge Points across Wales and Cross Borders stations. Initially planned for planning and then tendered in September 2025, this procurement process has evolved considerably, culminating in an award update in March 2026. Following a comprehensive evaluation, Transport for Wales selected EZO Charging LTD as its supplier, although the initial tender was cancelled due to no fully-suitable solutions. Noteworthy dates include the tender award scheduled to commence on 23 March 2026, lasting until 2048, with a procurement value of £97 million. This procurement falls under the 'services' category and operates under Welsh devolved regulations, focusing on vehicle refuelling services within the transportation sector.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in EV infrastructural development, offering phases of planning, design, installation, and maintenance across railway station car parks. With a concession agreement, businesses can leverage revenue-generating mechanisms and expand their service offerings across additional stations in Wales and Cross Borders. Large-scale enterprises active in EV charging solutions will find suitable grounds to pursue growth due to the procedural emphasis on strategic dialogues and site visits—aiming to optimise their proposals alongside TfW's requirements. As the contract permits renewal and options for future expansion, businesses can consider long-term strategic partnerships and potential advancements in technology and operational efficiency.
