UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply and delivery of at least seven portable electric vehicle chargers, together with a three-year service and maintenance arrangement. The requirement is for electrical equipment and apparatus, covering both the physical chargers and ongoing support for their operation. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust based in Bicester. Delivery is for activity in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement with a service element attached, relevant to suppliers of portable EV charging equipment, electrical infrastructure, fleet electrification products, and associated maintenance services. The procurement was arranged as a single completed lot, indicating a consolidated requirement rather than separately competed charger supply and maintenance packages.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a selective procedure through an award under a framework, with competition between suppliers. SEE Services Ltd was selected on 7 August 2026. The award value was £85,438 excluding VAT and £102,382 including VAT. The award period was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, while the signed contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026. The evaluation resulted in one active award for the completed lot, linked to the portable charger supply and its associated service and maintenance provision. The selected supplier is an SME.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for portable EV charging equipment supported by a multi-year maintenance service, rather than a one-off equipment purchase. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to provide at least seven portable chargers as a coordinated supply, delivery and support package, with the operational capacity to maintain equipment over several years. Relevant competitors are likely to include EV charging specialists, electrical equipment distributors, fleet electrification providers and service organisations able to combine product supply with responsive maintenance. The award of the requirement to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist supplier can meet this scale through a selective framework route. Credible suppliers should be able to evidence dependable delivery, technical support and experience maintaining comparable charging equipment for an NHS fleet environment.
