Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured electric vehicle charge points and ancillary services for its campuses. The requirement covers supplying, installing and managing charge points for students, staff and visitors using paid charging; non-payment charging for University fleet vehicles; and, in some circumstances, charging connected with research projects. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the scope also includes installation and ongoing management services. Delivery is at the University’s campuses in the Salford and Greater Manchester area. The buyer is the University of Salford, a public authority. The requirement was divided into phases under the procurement, with the awarded work involving electric vehicle charging infrastructure and associated services rather than the supply of electric vehicles themselves.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure, with the method recorded as unknown. AMP EV LTD was selected for Lot 1, Phase 1, with an award dated 7 July 2026 and a gross value of £42,485.28 (£35,404.40 excluding VAT). The related contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 10 August to 30 September 2026. A second active contract, titled Lot 2, Phase 2, was also signed with AMP EV LTD on 3 August 2026. It runs from 10 August 2026 to 10 January 2027 and has a gross value of £61,892.83 (£51,577.36 excluding VAT). Both contracts are below the applicable threshold. The recorded procurement status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of Salford for an end-to-end electric vehicle charging capability, combining hardware supply with installation and operational management. Competitors targeting similar future requirements would need to provide dependable charge-point infrastructure for several user groups: paid public-style charging for students, staff and visitors, fleet charging for the University, and potentially charging that supports research activity. Credible suppliers are therefore likely to need practical installation expertise, the ability to manage charging services after deployment, and capacity to deliver phased campus work. Experience serving public-sector or institutional estates, supporting different payment and access arrangements, and operating reliable infrastructure across a campus environment would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
