Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council is inviting tenders for a concession contract entitled "Residential EV Chargers Concession Contract - 2," aimed at providing on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across two geographical lots, namely Blue Lot and Green Lot. This procurement falls under the industry category of electrical machinery and installation services, with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 27th March 2026 and a tender submission deadline of 8th April 2026. The contracts will commence from 1st June 2026, spanning a 15-year term until 2041. The procurement method employed is the open procedure, allowing electronic submissions in English, and is above threshold as per the Concession regime, ensuring compliance with the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The contract has an estimated gross value of £90 million, with specific allocations across the lots.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in electrical equipment, apparatus, and installation services. Given the focus on residential EV infrastructure, companies with expertise in sustainable energy solutions and high-capacity chargers (7-22kW and 50kW) are best suited to bid. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as suitability criteria favour such businesses. The contract's long term and substantial financial allocation signify lucrative prospects, especially for companies aiming to expand in the renewable and sustainable technology sectors. With quality and pricing as the primary award criteria, businesses need to demonstrate sound technical proficiency and competitive pricing to seize this opportunity successfully.

Notice Title

Residential EV Chargers Concession Contract - 2

Notice Description

Milton Keynes City Council (the "Council") are currently out to tender 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.
