Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council led a joint procurement for Lincolnshire, Herefordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and Telford & Wrekin councils through the Third Midlands Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Consortium. The requirement covers electric vehicle charging infrastructure, chargepoint sockets and associated services to expand residential charging in areas where many households rely on on-street parking. The Standard service covers 7kW AC and 22kW AC or DC chargepoint sockets across all four council areas. The Rapid service covers 49kW AC or 50kW DC sockets for Lincolnshire and Stoke-on-Trent. The work combines chargepoint supply with engineering, electrical installation, commissioning and electricity distribution-related services across the Midlands, including Lincolnshire, Herefordshire, Stoke-on-Trent and Telford and Wrekin.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 31 January 2026 at 12:00, following an extension to the clarification deadline of 12 January 2026 at 12:00. Awards were made on 21 July 2026: Char.gy Limited won the Standard service for £280,000,000 gross, and EZO Charging Limited won the Rapid service for £180,000,000 gross. Both contracts are scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 29 June 2041, with one possible 12-month extension to 29 June 2042. The award decision was based on quality weighted at 80% and price at 20%. Suppliers could bid for both services, but one supplier could win only one. The procedure is under the concession regime.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, long-term local-authority demand for residential and on-street electric vehicle charging across several Midlands areas. A credible future competitor would need to supply and support standard and rapid chargepoints, with capability spanning electrical installation, integrated engineering, commissioning and related electricity services. Experience of delivering infrastructure for councils and working across multiple delivery areas would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to support a large, geographically distributed programme serving communities dependent on on-street parking. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses of those types with the necessary technical delivery capability could be well placed. Strong quality-led proposals would matter more than lowest price alone.
