Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned services to revise PAS 1899:2022, the specification concerning accessible electric vehicle chargepoints. The work is standards-development activity focused on accessibility in EV charging infrastructure, rather than the supply or installation of chargepoints. The requirement was awarded as a single service package to BSI Standards Limited. The buyer is the Department for Transport, a central government department. The contracting information identifies the buyer and supplier in London, while the requirement itself concerns the revision of a UK public specification for EV accessible chargepoints. Businesses with relevant experience in developing, reviewing or maintaining technical standards for transport infrastructure, electric vehicle charging or accessibility will find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to BSI Standards Limited on 6 August 2026. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract, titled PAS Development Agreement, is active and runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a maximum extent to 31 December 2027. It may be renewed to ensure completion of the agreement. The awarded value is £111,024 excluding VAT, or £133,228.80 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the completed single service package. The published outcome records BSI Standards Limited as the selected supplier for the revision work.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Department for Transport for specialist standards-development work supporting accessible EV charging. A credible future competitor would need to understand how technical specifications are developed and revised, and how requirements for accessibility are applied to electric vehicle chargepoints and transport infrastructure. Relevant capability would include structured consultation, evidence-led drafting, technical review, stakeholder coordination and production of an authoritative revised standard. Experience working with public-sector or nationally recognised standards, accessibility requirements and emerging charging technologies would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier is a large standards organisation, indicating that an established standards-development capability and the capacity to manage a defined technical revision programme are relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
