Summary of the contracting process

The Milton Keynes City Council has completed a significant procurement process for expanding residential electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Milton Keynes. The project falls under the category of electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment, and installation services within the United Kingdom's sub-central government sector. The procurement used an open procedure, divided into four lots, namely Blue, Green, Orange, and Yellow, each covering 31 locations for EV chargers. The process concluded with a contract award to Qwello UK Ltd for the Orange and Yellow Lots. This concession contract will span 15 years, starting on 1st April 2026, and ending on 31st March 2041, focusing on operating, maintaining, replacing, and developing the infrastructure. The total allocated funding includes £1.442M from OZEV LEVI to expand on-street charging to economically deprived and rural areas.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical installations and maintenance services. SMEs like Qwello UK Ltd can leverage such infrastructural projects to secure long-term growth and development, especially in the context of sustainable transportation. The emphasis on filling gaps in economically challenged areas also presents CSR opportunities for businesses to contribute positively to social equity. Service providers with the capability to manage complex public-private partnerships will find this project particularly well-suited, as it involves comprehensive operations, maintenance, and strategic development over an extended period, with commitment to enhancing regional EV infrastructure.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Residential EV Chargers

Notice Description

The Milton Keynes City Council (the "Council") has been allocated PS1.442M OZEV LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) Capital funding to expand our network of low power, on-street charging infrastructure. We are fairly advanced in our coverage of EV chargers, so this funding is proposed to fill the gaps in our residential network coverage including economically deprived and rural areas. The LEVI funding will be used to deliver the low power infrastructure in the more challenging economic locations, co-located with fully service provider funded high power residential solutions. An Open Tender exercise has resulted in one successful tenderer for two out of the four lots being procured. The successful tenderer will enter into 15 year concession contract with the Council. The contract will be to operate, maintain, replace and develop the Councils electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVI) as a Public Private Commercial Partnership in a concession contract.
