UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Places for People and Anchor Hanover Group are jointly seeking one supplier to deliver a managed electric vehicle charging infrastructure service across both organisations’ property portfolios. The work covers designing, supplying, installing and commissioning charge points, then operating, monitoring, maintaining and managing them through their lifecycle. It also includes software platforms, payment processing, customer support, reporting, site assessment, project management and retrofit or replacement of existing equipment. Sites include new-build, retrofit and residential properties across England, Scotland and Wales. Requirements will be called off site by site under the supplier’s agreed rates. The two portfolios form separate lots and will have separately managed contracts, but bidders must submit one tender covering both and the same supplier will be appointed to each.

The buyer invited tenders through a multi-stage competitive flexible procedure. Suppliers submit the participation questionnaire and initial tender together; five qualifying suppliers are shortlisted, and the two highest-ranked initial tenders proceed to site visits, dialogue, negotiation and best-and-final offers. The buyer plans to award on the most advantageous tender, weighted 70% for quality and 30% for price. Questions were due by 19 October 2026 at 17:00; tender submissions were due by 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 8 April 2027 to 8 April 2037, with an option to extend by five years, subject to performance, value for money, funding and approvals. Estimated gross values are £19 million for Places for People and £21 million for Anchor Hanover. Forecast volumes are about 20,000 and 4,000 charge points respectively; neither volumes nor work are guaranteed.

This opportunity suits an integrated EV-charging provider able to manage a large, geographically dispersed property portfolio over the full asset lifecycle. The supplier will need capability in electrical infrastructure design and installation, commissioning, retrofit, operations, monitoring, servicing, testing, maintenance and replacement, alongside software, payments, customer support and performance reporting. Strong project and site-management capacity is important, as requirements will vary by site, location, timing and volume, and may include new developments as well as existing residential properties. The participation assessment covers economic and financial standing, legal status, probity and organisational capability, together with health and safety management, quality assurance, technical competence, data protection, cyber security and relevant industry accreditations. Equivalent standards and qualifications are acceptable. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable, but bidders must cover both portfolios in a single response and be capable of scaling delivery; no minimum workload is assured.
