UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council, a sub-central government public authority in Manchester, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of 100 cable channels, aimed at facilitating safe electric vehicle (EV) charging for residents without off-street parking. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, with KERBO CHARGE LTD as the supplier. The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically involving cable, wire, and related products. The contract, valued at £40,000 net (£48,000 gross), was signed on 27th February 2026 and spans from 2nd March 2026 to 26th February 2027, with a potential renewal if required. The installations will be undertaken by Salford City Council's Highways Construction Services following training from Kerbocharge.

This tender provides potential business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in construction, installation services, and electric vehicle infrastructure. Businesses focusing on the deployment of EV charging solutions and infrastructure development would find this opportunity well-suited for expansion, leveraging the growing market for sustainable transport solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United Kingdom with expertise in supplying related goods and services are particularly poised to benefit, as demonstrated by KERBO CHARGE LTD, an SME based in London. Engaging with public sector contracts can increase visibility and credibility, leading to further opportunities within local and regional government frameworks.
