Summary of the contracting process

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the development of an Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) across South Yorkshire. The initiative is part of a Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) scheme, aiming to establish a concession-type contract with a Chargepoint Operator (CPO). The procurement involves collaboration with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, City of Doncaster Council, Rotherham Borough Council, and Sheffield City Council. The project, valued at approximately £10.38 million in gross terms, is classified under "Electrical installation work" and scheduled to commence on 1st May 2026, ending by 30th June 2041. The next milestone includes a market engagement due by 24th October 2025, with further notices expected by 1st December 2025.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical installation, particularly those experienced in electric vehicle infrastructure. The project encompasses the installation and management of charging stations, which creates substantial growth opportunities for companies with the capability to operate as a CPO. Given the multi-authority collaboration, businesses that can effectively scale operations and manage projects across various locales in the UK will be well-positioned to benefit. This project aligns with the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions and offers a long-term partnership with public authorities, potentially enhancing the market presence of successful bidders in the renewable energy sector.
