Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Water is procuring a fully managed electric vehicle charging infrastructure service across its estate throughout Scotland. The work covers the supply of AC and DC charging equipment, site surveys, design and feasibility assessments, civil engineering, electrical installation, enabling works, commissioning, testing and certification. The contractor will also provide planned and reactive maintenance, repairs, equipment replacement, lifecycle support, technical assistance, fault resolution, asset reporting and performance monitoring. Sites may include depots, offices, treatment works and other operational premises, including remote and rural locations. The requirement is classified as electrical installation works, with associated electrical equipment, vehicle, parking and installation services. One contractor will manage the complete service and act as Scottish Water’s principal point of contact.

The procurement has reached tender: Scottish Water invited offers through a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. It is a single-lot requirement and the buyer intends to appoint one contractor under a framework arrangement with a maximum of one participant. The estimated value is £12,000,000. The contract duration is 2,880 days. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 7 September 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. Submissions may be electronic or written, must be in English, and alternative bids are not allowed. The evaluation and participation requirements are set out through economic and technical selection criteria and a reduction process. Electronic ordering and payment will be used.

This opportunity suits an established EV charging infrastructure contractor able to deliver a complete, nationwide service rather than an isolated installation package. Relevant capability includes supplying and supporting both AC and DC equipment; surveying, designing and assessing sites; delivering civil engineering and electrical works; commissioning, testing, certification and compliance; and providing planned maintenance, reactive repairs, technical support, fault resolution, reporting and lifecycle replacement. Suppliers need the capacity to coordinate work across Scotland, including remote and rural operational sites, and to take responsibility as principal contractor and principal designer where required under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. The requirement calls for compliance with the current 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), relevant EV standards, Electricity at Work Regulations, health and safety legislation, Scottish Water requirements, and membership of SELECT or an equivalent electrical trade body.
