Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Hertfordshire County Council, is currently in the planning stage for the "Provision of Local Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure". This initiative, aimed at enhancing electric vehicle charging access across Hertfordshire, particularly targets areas where off-street parking is unavailable. The council acts on behalf of a consortium of lower-tier authorities and is using a concession procurement regime. Interested parties should note the planned contract period from 31 October 2025 to 31 October 2040, with an option for renewal, and further details are expected by 2 June 2025. The procurement involves electrical installation work related to electric vehicles and falls under the 'works' category with a significant budget of £15,037,500 GBP. The main procurement category is focused on the works necessary for supporting the infrastructure.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical installations, particularly those experienced with electric vehicle infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the project's scale and emphasis on innovative solutions for urban areas. Companies capable of providing robust, scalable EV charging solutions will find this contract a lucrative venture. Moreover, firms that excel in fostering partnerships with public authorities and navigating concession contracts will find this effort a fitting challenge. As infrastructure to support sustainable transportation increasingly becomes essential, this tender represents a strategic entry point into an evolving market.
