Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Ealing is initiating a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for the procurement of Electric Vehicle Charge Point (EVCP) infrastructure across six London boroughs, under the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) funding programme. This initiative is currently in the planning stage and seeks input from industry participants. The procurement falls under the services category, with a significant budget of approximately £7.54 million, funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). Interested parties are invited to participate in this engagement by reviewing draft specifications and providing feedback through a questionnaire available on the e-procurement portal. The deadline for submissions is set for 28th July 2026.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of electric motors and related equipment, particularly those specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure. Companies offering repair and maintenance services of electrical machinery would also find this engagement beneficial. By participating, businesses can position themselves for future contract opportunities when the formal call for competition is released. The project spans multiple London regions, including UKI73, UKI72, and UKI43, providing excellent prospects for firms with a strong operational presence or capacity to expand within the Greater London area.
