Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured works to install electric vehicle chargers at its Greenacres site. The requirement covers the supply and installation of EV charging equipment, including associated electrical installation work. It is a works contract for an NHS mental health organisation, with delivery activity linked to the Greenacres site. The buyer is based in Maidstone and operates across Kent and Medway. The requirement may suit electrical contractors, EV infrastructure installers and charging-equipment providers able to deliver a complete installation rather than supply equipment alone. Relevant capability includes planning and carrying out charger installation, electrical connection and commissioning in an operational healthcare environment. The awarded supplier is Stark Software International Ltd.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot. Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. Stark Software International Ltd received the award on 3 September 2026. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its value is £11,533.79 excluding VAT, or £14,223.58 including VAT. The award covers the EV charger and electrical installation works. The tender record identifies the procurement as complete and the award as active. The published information does not set out a separate quality, price or technical weighting, so the recorded basis for the competition is the limited below-threshold procedure rather than a detailed evaluation breakdown.

This award is useful evidence of a defined NHS requirement for EV charging infrastructure at a mental health trust site. A credible future competitor would need to combine EV charger installation with general electrical installation capability, rather than offer charging hardware alone. Experience of working safely in operational healthcare premises would be commercially relevant, including managing access, isolation, installation disruption and commissioning around patients, staff and visitors. Suppliers should also be able to deliver a complete, dependable installation for a single site and work within the trust’s procurement route for below-threshold limited competitions. The selected supplier’s role indicates that the buyer valued a contractor able to take responsibility for the practical installation works and associated electrical elements.
