UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Chief Constable for Devon and Cornwall Police procured electric vehicle charging infrastructure as a service-led installation project. The requirement covers the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of charging equipment across specified police sites, together with the associated civil engineering and electrical works needed for a fully operational solution. The scope includes chargers, site preparation, construction and installation services, vehicle refuelling infrastructure, back-office system integration and support for planned grid-capacity upgrades. The completed installation is intended to provide a safe, compliant and future-ready charging solution. It also includes a warranty with defined service levels for correcting defects. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to PLUG (EV STATIONS) LIMITED. The award value is £196,093.09 excluding VAT, or £235,311.71 including VAT. The contract period runs from 12 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled for 1 September 2026. This was a competitive award under a framework, using a selective procedure. The opportunity comprised one completed lot. The award is for services and covers the full vehicle-charging infrastructure requirement, including civil and electrical works, installation, testing, commissioning, support and warranty obligations. The awarded supplier is a Cardiff-based SME.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a police authority for suppliers able to deliver complete electric vehicle charging infrastructure rather than equipment supply alone. Credible competitors would need design and project-delivery capability covering chargers, electrical connections, civil engineering, site preparation, installation, testing and commissioning. They would also need to demonstrate safe, compliant delivery against applicable standards and specifications, with the ability to integrate charging assets with back-office systems. Experience of supporting future grid-capacity upgrades would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to provide responsive defect rectification under defined service levels and a warranty. The requirement suits an established specialist or delivery partnership able to coordinate technical, construction, electrical and ongoing support activities for public-sector sites.
