Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham and the Royal Borough of Greenwich jointly procured the installation, operation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging points and associated infrastructure, supported by funding from the Government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure programme. The work covers charging points, electrical and civil engineering, street furniture, repairs and maintenance, energy services and related software. It is divided into three lots, all for electric vehicle charging points, with delivery across Lewisham and Greenwich. The contracts are concession arrangements: suppliers install and operate the infrastructure as well as maintain it. This is a substantial, long-term charging network requirement for suppliers working across EV charging infrastructure, electrical installation, construction and ongoing operational services.

The open concession procurement has reached award stage. Believ Limited was selected for Lots 1 and 2, with awarded values of £106,863,600 and £107,883,216 respectively; Zest Eco Ltd was selected for Lot 3, valued at £75,373,152. Each award is pending. The award date for all three lots was 9 September 2026. Each contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2042, with an option to extend by up to one year at the partnership’s discretion. The initial tender estimated each lot at £3 million excluding VAT. Each lot was evaluated on quality (55%) and financial considerations (45%). Bids were due by 26 January 2026, and clarification questions by 5 January 2026.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work from Lewisham and Greenwich, this award demonstrates demand for end-to-end public EV charging provision, combining installation and associated infrastructure with long-term operation and maintenance. Credible competitors will need to deliver across electrical installation, civil and street works, charging equipment, repairs, energy services and supporting software, and sustain service over a lengthy operating term. The concession structure also makes the ability to operate the infrastructure commercially relevant, alongside technical delivery. Quality carried greater weight than price, so a strong offer needs to evidence the quality and reliability of its proposed solution as well as competitive financial terms. The lots were marked suitable for SMEs, and multiple SME suppliers submitted valid bids, indicating that this scale of opportunity can attract smaller specialist providers.
