Summary of the contracting process

Wychavon District Council procured maintenance services and back-office systems for electric vehicle chargepoints that it owns. The requirement covers keeping the chargepoint infrastructure operating and supporting the associated systems used to manage the chargepoints. It is a public-sector service requirement for the Council, with delivery in the Wychavon area of England. The procurement is relevant to businesses providing electric vehicle chargepoint maintenance, fault response, asset monitoring, charging-network software, customer or operator support, and related technical services. It may also suit providers able to combine physical maintenance with the ongoing administration and operation of chargepoint back-office systems. The requirement is focused on the Council’s own EV charging assets rather than general electrical works or an unspecified technology supply.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded under a framework using a below-threshold selective procedure. Competition was not reopened for this award. One service lot was completed, and SWARCO SMART CHARGING LTD was selected. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £27,150 excluding VAT, or £32,580 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated as a repair and maintenance service for electric vehicle chargepoints. Wychavon District Council is the buyer. The award is active and the contract is active, so this records an established purchasing route and outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement shows that Wychavon District Council buys a combined service: physical maintenance of council-owned EV chargepoints alongside the back-office systems needed to manage them. A credible future competitor would therefore need practical experience maintaining charging equipment, diagnosing faults, coordinating repairs and keeping chargepoints operational, together with reliable software or operational capability for back-office management. The ability to support a public-sector customer consistently across its local charging estate would be important, as would capacity for a sustained service rather than a one-off installation. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a very large infrastructure provider. Framework access and experience of public-sector service delivery would also strengthen a competing offer.
