Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council is seeking to improve its EV infrastructure through a preliminary market engagement (PME) in preparation for a tender process, under the Oxford City Council EV Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This procurement, titled "CoYC EV Infrastructure," falls under the category of 'works,' with additional classifications in 'services.' The project will support York's own and operate model and involves chargers, construction work, software packages, and installation services. Key milestones include the availability of engagement documents on 15th May 2026, with a competition anticipated approximately 2-4 weeks thereafter. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with efforts to familiarise suppliers with the model to prevent tender deadline extensions. The location of this procurement is primarily in the York region, and the contract period is set to begin on 1st October 2026, lasting until 30th September 2031, with potential extensions up to September 2034.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, electrical and mechanical installation, and software solutions related to EV infrastructure.

By engaging in this tender, businesses can enhance their portfolio and establish strategic partnerships, potentially leading to further opportunities. Companies experienced in public sector contracts and those with an appetite for long-term projects would be well-positioned to benefit from participating in this growth opportunity under the expertise of a sub-central government authority.

Notice Title

CoYC EV Infrastructure

Notice Description

Preliminary market engagement (PME) for CYC's tender via the Oxford DPS to award a contract for a supplier to support CYC's own and operate model. This PME is to prepare the market for the upcoming competition and for suppliers to familiarise themselves with CYC's own and operate model in order to reduce the likelihood an extension to the competition is required due to suppliers being unfamiliar with the model.

Planning Information

The documents are available via YorTender https://yortender.eu-supply.com/ via project reference: 100110288 This PME is intended to prepare the market for publication of a competition under the Oxford City Council EV DPS in approx 2-4 weeks. CYC is sharing information on its own and operate model so that interested suppliers may familiarise themselves with the model in order to reduce the likelihood of extensions being required to the tender deadline due to supplier unfamiliarity with models of this type.
