Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets Council is procuring a supplier to operate and maintain its existing Ubitricity and Chargy column electric vehicle charging points. The service covers ongoing charger operation, repair and maintenance of electrical charging equipment, with activity delivered across the United Kingdom. The successful operator will manage charging services for vehicle owners, collect payments from customers who use the chargers and pay Tower Hamlets a share of the resulting revenue. This is a services opportunity for businesses with an interest in electric vehicle charging networks, charging-point operations, electrical equipment maintenance or related customer and payment services. The council owns the charging points and is seeking a new operator to manage them.

The process has reached tender: Tower Hamlets invited offers through an open procedure for a concession service. The estimated value is £997,000 excluding VAT, or £1,196,400 including VAT. The enquiry deadline was 21 August 2026 at 5pm, and the bid submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2029, with the award decision due by 8 October 2026. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on price at 65%, quality at 25% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed in English. The procurement is above threshold and covered by the GPA.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to take operational responsibility for an existing electric vehicle charging network, including maintaining charging equipment and supporting reliable customer use. Relevant businesses may include EV charging operators, electrical maintenance contractors, infrastructure service providers and partnerships combining these capabilities. The requirement involves managing customer charging payments and sharing revenue with the council, so bidders should be prepared to operate a customer-facing commercial service as well as maintain the physical assets. Tower Hamlets identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate the required legal, financial and technical capacity and ability; the detailed participation conditions are set out in the Invitation to Tender. Access requires registration on Proactis/Due North.
