Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is spearheaded by Nottinghamshire County Council, focusing on the "LEVI - The Supply of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Associated Services." This endeavour is part of the Second Midlands Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Consortium (SMeviC) and is classified under the works category, with an emphasis on electric vehicles and electrical installation work. The contracting stage is currently at the tender phase, having been initiated on 18th May 2026. The project operates across the UKF1 region, with a tender submission deadline set for 13th July 2026 and subsequent award planned by 4th September 2026. The procurement, following an open procedure, is divided into two lots: one for standard and fast chargepoints (7kW to 22kW) and another for rapid chargepoints (50kW+ DC), aiming to stimulate significant advancements in electric vehicle infrastructure.

This procurement opens substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialised in electric vehicle infrastructure, electrical installations, or related sectors. Potential bidders could consist of enterprises capable of assessing and designing chargepoint sites, supplying and installing hardware, and managing maintenance and customer services. Given the scale and ambition of this £720 million net worth project, companies experienced in infrastructure concessions and those equipped to handle complex supply chains and ongoing operational support are well-suited to compete. The project not only aligns with eco-friendly business practices but also promises long-term engagement through contract periods extending to 2041, with a possible renewal extending to 2042.
