The council aims to deliver approximately 101 charge points per Lot across two regional divisions: the Blue Lot and the Green Lot. Covering a period from 2026 to 2041, this contract is structured into two 15-year agreements. The successful tenderer, Qwello (UK) Ltd, headquartered in London, is set to supply the necessary services. The award date was 26th June 2026, with contract signing scheduled by 3rd August 2026. The procurement was completed via an open procedure under the concessions regime, indicating an inclusive and competitive tendering environment.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for growth in the electric vehicle infrastructure sector, particularly for businesses offering electrical machinery, installation services, and related equipment. SMEs with capabilities in EV charger manufacturing or installation, especially those experienced with 7-22kw and 50kw chargers, should find this contract enticing for expanding their presence in the UK public sector. Given the 15-year contract duration and substantial project scale, companies equipped to deliver long-term, sustainable projects in the given regions can leverage this opportunity to solidify their role in the evolving electric vehicle market.

Notice Title

Residential EV Chargers Concession Contract - 2

Notice Description

Milton Keynes City Council (the "Council") tendered for the provision of concession contract for Residential EV chargers. The Council has been allocated PS1.442M OZEV LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) Capital funding. The funding will be used to deliver a range of residential, on-street charging infrastructure. With a combination of LEVI funding and private sector funding we are proposing to deliver around 101 charge points per tendered Lot across two geographically split Lots. Each residential locality within the Lots will be assessed for viable EVI installations consisting of a mix of 7-22kw and 50kw chargers. This equates to around 202 charging sockets per Lot. In addition to the installation of new residential charge points, from June 2029, these contracts will also include the transition of all Milton Keynes City Councils existing residential charge points within the localities of each Lot. The procurement is divided in two lots: Blue Lot and Green Lot. The Council proposes to enter into a separate contract for each lot that will be for a term of 15 years.
