Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon & Somerset procured electric vehicle charging infrastructure: the supply, installation and commissioning of 14 DC charging points and 20 AC twin-socket charging points. The work includes associated civil and electrical infrastructure and a five-year warranty. This is a combined equipment, installation and site-works requirement rather than a purchase of chargers alone. The delivery location is identified only as the United Kingdom, with no specific town or site named. The requirement sits within vehicle charging and related installation and civil engineering work.

The procurement is complete and awarded to VEV Services Limited. The award was made on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 19 October 2026. The contract value is £866,007.97 excluding VAT (£1,039,209.56 including VAT). The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2032. The competition was run selectively as an award under a framework, with one lot. It was evaluated competitively; the published information gives no further detail on the scoring or award criteria. The supplier is responsible for delivery against installation-quality and defect-rate measures, as well as commissioning completion and handover milestones.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future charging-infrastructure requirements, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated delivery capability: supplying both DC and AC charging equipment, completing associated civil and electrical works, commissioning installations and providing warranty support. Credible competitors would need to coordinate equipment procurement with site preparation, electrical installation and construction activity, then manage quality, defect rectification and handover through to completion. The measured focus on defect rates and milestone completion indicates that reliable installation and documented delivery are important to the buyer. The framework route and competitive selection are relevant features of how this requirement was bought. The scope combines multiple technical disciplines and a substantial installation programme, so suppliers need the capacity to manage delivery as a joined-up service.
