Summary of the contracting process

Warwick District Council in collaboration with Stratford-On-Avon District Council is seeking a provider to install, manage, and maintain electric vehicle charge points across their extensive car park portfolios under a competitive flexible procurement process. The contract involves a two-stage tender procedure with an initial Invitation to Tender (ITT) and an optional negotiation stage. Interested Charge Point Operators (CPOs) are invited to submit tenders until 20 August 2026, with the opportunity to manage these electric vehicle charge points for an initial 15-year term, starting 1 October 2026, with a potential one-year extension. The contract, valued approximately at £645,000 per annum, aims to increase the availability of public and council fleet charge points in the UK region UKG13, enhancing the area’s decarbonisation efforts. Key dates include an enquiry deadline of 10 August 2026 and an award period ending on 25 September 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, electrical installation, and services to expand their portfolios and foster business growth. Ideal candidates are those with capabilities in managing the complete lifecycle of EV charge point infrastructure, from installation to operational management. With a focus on quality, corporate social responsibility, and competitive concession fees, businesses that can offer efficient and scalable solutions will find themselves well-positioned to succeed. This initiative not only supports the participating councils' climate action plans but also broadens the potential market reach for charge point operators through a long-term contract commitment.

Notice Title

WDC - Electric vehicle charge points for public car parks

Notice Description

Warwick District Council and Stratford-On Avon councils have a significant portfolio of car parks which present an ideal space for EV Chargepoints (EVCPs) and would like to appoint a single provider to install, manage and maintain EVCPs of appropriate speeds across the estate to increase the availability of public chargepoints and council fleet vehicle chargepoints. Charge Point Operators (CPOs) are invited to submit a tender to install and manage EVCPs on a concession basis, paying a flat fee for each space per year. The tender should be completed on the basis of the number of EVCPs you will install within the first phase of the project, which is expected to take no longer than 24 months. Our expectation is that the appointed CPO will install at least the number of charge points in the 2025 modelling provided in Cenex's car park information sheet (Appendix 2, columns K-M). The appointed provider will be given the opportunity to expand the number of spaces in any car park beyond the number bid for in this tender if demand shows that more EVCPs are required in that location. Warwick District Council (WDC) and Stratford-On-Avon District Council's (SDC) Climate Change Teams are responsible for decarbonisation projects in each of the council's areas, these teams will conduct the tender and manage the rollout/installation phase. WDC and SDC's car parking teams - responsible for management of the car parks owned by each council, these teams will be responsible for the ongoing contract management following installation of each EV chargepoint. Duration of the Contract: The contract will be for a period of 15 years plus an optional extension of one year at Councils' discretion. Value of contract*: The Contract Value is approximately PS645,000 per 12 month period
