UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured works to supply and install cross-pavement cable channels for a pilot scheme supporting residents without off-street parking to charge electric vehicles safely at home. The channels allow charging cables to cross the footway without creating an obstruction or trailing-cable hazard. The work is classified as surface work for footpaths (CPV 45233253) and is to be delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement combines physical installation in public footways with an understanding of safe domestic electric-vehicle charging access. It is therefore relevant to contractors involved in footway, pavement or surface works, and to specialist suppliers of infrastructure that enables residential EV charging where properties lack driveways or other off-street parking.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 July 2026 to KERBO CHARGE LTD. Newcastle City Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was awarded, with an active contract signed on 23 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT and £42,000 including VAT. The awarded supplier is a UK small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract concerns works rather than goods or general services, covering the council’s cross-pavement EV channel pilot. The published outcome records the award as active and the procurement as complete, so this is a record of an established contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For a supplier assessing future work from Newcastle City Council, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for safe, installed cable channels that help residents without off-street parking charge electric vehicles at home. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable cross-pavement channel products, install them securely within or across footway areas, and manage the safety risks associated with pedestrians, charging cables and public access. Relevant experience in footway or surface works, practical site delivery and understanding of residential EV-charging use cases would be useful. The requirement may suit a specialist SME able to combine product supply with installation and pilot delivery, rather than a supplier offering only generic EV equipment or only unrelated civil engineering services.
