Summary of the contracting process

West Lancashire Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the provision and installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers, titled "Request for Information - EV Charger Provision". This initiative falls under the services category with a focus on the installation of electrical and mechanical equipment. The Council is located in Ormskirk, United Kingdom. As of now, the process is not a call for competition; instead, the Council is conducting pre-market engagement with potential suppliers to refine the tender specification and key performance indicators. The planned timeline for pre-market engagement activities culminates on 9th September 2025, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and potentially run through to 31st March 2031, with a possible renewal extending up to 1st April 2036.

This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in EV charger services and installation, particularly those able to provide innovative solutions and expertise in this growing sector. Companies that specialise in electrical and mechanical equipment installations are encouraged to engage in this pre-market consultation to shape the future tender specifications. By participating, businesses can gain insight into forthcoming opportunities, align their offerings with buyer expectations, and position themselves as key contenders for this and similar future procurement initiatives. This engagement process is well-suited for businesses looking to expand their portfolios in public sector contracts and enter the growing EV infrastructure industry.
