Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council has completed the procurement process for the "LEVI Public Electric Vehicle Charge Points and Associated Infrastructure" project, a pivotal initiative under the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme. The contract involves the installation and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) charge points across the region, promoting sustainable transport solutions. Funded by a £3.465 million grant from the UK Government, the project aims to ensure equitable distribution of charging facilities across urban, rural, and underserved areas. The procurement, managed through an open procedure, consists of two lots: Lot 1 focuses on on-street residential charging, while Lot 2 encompasses council-owned car parks and community assets. The contracts are set for a period starting from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2041. Key dates include the contract award notice published on 16 April 2026 and a scheduled future signature date of 1 May 2026.

The tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the EV infrastructure industry. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger firms specializing in electrical installation, transport equipment, and electricity distribution stand to benefit greatly. Companies such as CHAR.GY LIMITED and CHARGE MY STREET LIMITED, awarded Lot 1 and Lot 2 respectively, exemplify the types of businesses well-suited for this project. This contract not only supports the growth of businesses committed to sustainable infrastructure but also encourages diversification by welcoming interests from diverse communities and the voluntary sector. With a focus on quality, social value, and commercial viability, the procurement process sets a strong foundation for innovation and inclusive growth in the green transport sector.
