Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured electric vehicle chargepoint infrastructure across the council area, covering on-street locations and car parks. The work was split into two parts: on-street chargepoints, and chargepoints in car parks and for cluster members. The council planned to use Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure grant funding to deliver more than 900 chargepoints. This is a concession for the provision of charging infrastructure and associated services, rather than a purchase of chargepoints alone. The requirement is relevant to operators and suppliers able to develop and deliver public EV charging networks across both street and car-park settings.

The procurement used an open procedure and is recorded as awarded. Believ Limited was selected for the on-street lot, with an award value of £2.5 million; the award date was 18 June 2026. Connected Kerb Limited was selected for the car-park and cluster-member lot, with an award value of £1.205 million; the award date was 29 June 2026. Both contract periods were set to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2041. The evaluation weighted qualitative criteria at 75% and commercial criteria at 25% for each lot. The Lot 2 contract was cancelled on 13 October 2026. The tender deadline was 13 November 2025.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from this council, the procurement demonstrates demand for both on-street charging and infrastructure for car parks and cluster members, at a network scale of more than 900 chargepoints. Credible competitors would need the capability to deliver and operate EV charging infrastructure across these settings and to support a long-term concession. The council treated qualitative performance as more important than commercial cost in its assessment, so a competitive offer would need to show strong delivery quality as well as value. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete, and the final stage in each lot included two SME bids. The awards show that specialist charging-network operators were selected for each distinct delivery area.
