Summary of the contracting process

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited is seeking a concessionaire to operate, maintain and expand its existing electric vehicle charging infrastructure portfolio. The requirement covers the operation of electrical installations and related information technology software maintenance, including planned infrastructure deployments over the identified 24–36 month pipeline, as well as further growth opportunities and commercial expansions arising during the arrangement. Delivery will take place across the Central Belt and Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. This is a public-sector housing and community amenities opportunity for an operator able to manage an expanding electric vehicle charging network, rather than a one-off equipment supply contract. The work combines ongoing operational maintenance with infrastructure growth and commercial development across the buyer’s portfolio.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through electronic submission. It is a single-lot concession using a 7-year contract arrangement, with an option to extend for a further 3 years. The estimated value is £2,500,000. The final tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. Bids must be submitted in English. Supplier suitability includes compliance with the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, and performance terms are set out in the tender documents and those regulations. The tender pack was updated during the process, including changes to portfolio numbers and the publication of additional contract forms. The procurement is classified principally as maintenance of information technology software, with operation of electrical installations as an additional activity.

This opportunity suits an established electric vehicle charging infrastructure operator or concessionaire with demonstrable experience managing, maintaining and expanding charging networks. Suppliers will need the operational capability to support an existing portfolio while delivering a planned deployment pipeline and responding to additional opportunities that emerge during the arrangement. The requirement calls for suitably qualified and experienced economic operators, with the capacity to manage electrical installation operations alongside the associated software and systems maintenance. Compliance with the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 is a stated suitability requirement, so bidders should be able to evidence the relevant regulatory processes and controls. The long-term concession structure is particularly relevant to businesses able to combine technical delivery, asset operation, commercial expansion and ongoing network development across multiple locations in Scotland.
