In the procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), the organisation aims for the complete procurement of electric vehicle (EV) charging units installation and supply. The contract, titled "UKRI-5425 EV Charging Units Installation and Supply," falls within the goods category. The procurement was conducted via a direct award method, justified by compatibility with existing equipment infrastructure. The contract was awarded to SWARCO Smart Charging Ltd, with a gross value of £165,330.18 and covers the provision period from 12 February 2026 to 19 February 2026.
