UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for establishing electric vehicle charge point infrastructure is being managed by Westmorland and Furness Council. The council, a sub-central government public authority, is seeking to develop two EV Charging Concession Contracts aimed at the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of charge points. These will be deployed on-street, in public car parks, and on community group assets across the region UKD12. As of the latest update, the tender is in the planning stage, with the proposed publication on The Chest, an online portal. The future notice date has been set for 22 July 2025, with the contracts expected to begin on 1 September 2025 and conclude by the end of August 2040. The legal framework for this procurement is based on the UKPGA 2023/54, and the total contract value is projected at £4,440,000, with a net value of £3,700,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical and energy services, particularly those dealing with chargers, electric vehicles, electrical installation work, and maintenance. Firms capable of providing comprehensive solutions that encompass the end-to-end lifecycle of EV charging infrastructure are well-positioned to benefit. As the demand for sustainable transport solutions grows, businesses in the renewable energy sector, as well as those currently engaged in vehicle repair and maintenance, can leverage this opportunity to expand their offerings and enter new markets. The well-defined scope and substantial contract period provide a stable growth trajectory for participating companies. Interested parties should ensure they are registered on The Chest platform to access full tender details upon their release.
