Summary of the contracting process

Welsh Government procured electric vehicle charging infrastructure for Cadw, the Welsh heritage service, at its Crumlin and Caernarfon depots. The requirement covers installation services for electrical and mechanical equipment associated with the charging infrastructure. The work is delivered in Wales and supports the deployment of charging facilities at operational depot sites. Welsh Government is the buying organisation and the procurement formed part of its Great British Energy Award Part 1 programme. This is a public-sector infrastructure and installation requirement for businesses that design, supply, install or support electric vehicle charging equipment, particularly those able to work at public-sector depot locations in Wales.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a call-off from Lot 2 of the Welsh Government Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Framework. It was treated as a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The contract was awarded to PLUG (EV Stations), an SME, and the contract was signed on 16 March 2026. The contract runs from 16 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £101,400 excluding VAT, or £121,679.99 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one supplier. The contract is active, and the procurement is identified as Great British Energy Award Part 1 Cadw.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Welsh Government demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure at Cadw depot sites and confirms that the requirement can be sourced through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability in installing electrical and mechanical equipment, with experience delivering electric vehicle charging infrastructure rather than supplying unrelated construction services. It would also need to operate effectively in Wales and manage installation work at operational depots such as Crumlin and Caernarfon. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist smaller businesses can satisfy this type of public-sector infrastructure requirement when they have the relevant technical delivery capability and framework access.
