UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust procured the supply, commissioning and maintenance of seven portable electric vehicle chargers. This is a goods requirement covering electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables. The chargers are intended for use across England, with delivery spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is based in Bicester and operates as an NHS foundation trust. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of portable EV charging equipment that can provide the equipment itself, bring it into service and maintain it across a broad English delivery area. The scope combines product supply with commissioning and ongoing maintenance rather than a one-off equipment sale.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework, with competition. One lot was awarded to SEE SERVICES LTD on 30 August 2026. The awarded value is £85,438 excluding tax and £1,002,525.60 including tax. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with signature scheduled by 17 September 2026. The award covers all seven portable chargers and their commissioning and maintenance. The selected supplier is an SME. The published process identifies electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables as the classification for the goods. This outcome indicates that the buyer evaluated competing framework suppliers for a defined, multi-year portable EV charging requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates a requirement for portable electric vehicle charging equipment supported by commissioning and maintenance. A credible competitor would need to supply seven units, manage their installation or operational commissioning, and provide reliable maintenance over a multi-year service period. The work spans England rather than a single local site, so relevant capability includes national delivery, coordinated field support and the capacity to maintain equipment across multiple regions. Suppliers already able to deliver electrical equipment through a public-sector framework would be well placed for this route to market. The award to an SME also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business, provided it can combine product supply with dependable technical and after-sales support.
