Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured a complete electric vehicle charging solution for its Egham campus. The requirement covers the design, supply, installation, management, servicing and maintenance of EV charging equipment and associated electrical and civil infrastructure in the University’s private car parks. The project includes nine additional dual-socket charging units across four car parks, alongside a cohesive service for the four existing dual-socket units. Related work can include site surveys, feasibility assessments, electrical capacity analysis, design development, commissioning, software and payment-system provision, repairs and equipment replacement. The procurement combines construction and civil engineering works, electrical installation, EV chargers, feasibility and survey services. Delivery is at the University’s Egham campus in Surrey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to STARK SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL LTD. on 7 August 2026. It used a competitive selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 7 August 2026 to 18 September 2029. The contract value is £800,000 excluding VAT, or £960,000 including VAT. The University has discretion to extend the arrangement by up to two further 12-month periods, with a maximum final expiry date of 18 September 2031. The contract includes one completed lot. The University may also instruct additional related charging, infrastructure, survey, design, software, servicing, maintenance, repair or replacement work through formal variations.

This award demonstrates demand from a university estate for end-to-end EV charging infrastructure rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers would need credible capability in charging-point design, electrical installation, construction and civil works, commissioning, monitoring platforms and payment systems. The requirement also favours organisations able to manage operational charging services and provide responsive servicing, maintenance, repairs and replacement of charging equipment and associated infrastructure. Experience of site surveys, feasibility studies, electrical-capacity analysis and design development would support competitiveness, particularly where campus layouts or usage patterns change. A strong future contender would be able to integrate new and existing dual-socket units into one managed solution, coordinate work across multiple private car parks, and handle additional related requirements through controlled variations.

Notice Title

EV Charging Supply, Installation, Service and Maintenance

Notice Description

In line with the University's Sustainability Strategy, Carbon Reduction commitments, and Green Travel Plan objectives, the University is seeking to expand its EV charging infrastructure to support this transition and encourage lower-emission travel choices. The University's Egham campus currently has provision four (4) dual-socket EV charging units located in Car Park 4. These units are in regular use and demand for EV charging is forecast to increase over the coming years. To support this anticipated growth, the University proposes the installation of a further nine (9) dual-socket EV charging units across four (4) additional campus car parks. The Supplier shall be responsible for the design, supply, installation, management, and ongoing maintenance of EV charging equipment and associated infrastructure. The scope of the project includes both the new charging units and, upon contract expiry (01 September 2027), the ongoing management and maintenance of the four (4) existing dual-socket units, with the objective of delivering a single, cohesive solution across the campus. All EV charging infrastructure forming part of this Contract, shall be installed within University owned private car parks at the Egham campus. The University reserves the right to instruct the Supplier to undertake additional, related Services that support the successful purchase, installation, commissioning, operation, servicing and maintenance of EV Charging Points, where such Services remain consistent with the nature, scale and purpose of the Contract. These additional requirements may include, but are not limited to: A) Additional site surveys, feasibility assessments, electrical capacity analysis or design development required to support the installation or expansion of EV Charging Points. B) Further installation, commissioning or configuration of EV Charging Points arising from changes to site layouts, usage demand or University requirements. C) Provision of additional or upgraded charging hardware, software, monitoring platforms or payment systems compatible with the existing solution. D) Supplementary servicing, maintenance, repair or replacement works relating to EV Charging Points, associated electrical infrastructure or civil works.
