UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council commissioned independent research, monitoring and evaluation of its static wireless electric vehicle charging trial, delivered as part of the Council’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure pilot. The work is a research and evaluation service, rather than the installation or operation of charging equipment. Its purpose is to assess the trial and provide independent evidence about its delivery and results. The procurement relates to one lot, covering research and related consultancy services. The trial is being delivered in Coventry; the supplier is based in Coventry as well.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Coventry University College Limited. Coventry City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. The award is for the single lot, covering the research, monitoring and evaluation service. The published information does not give a separate award date or describe evaluation criteria; the route was a non-competitive direct award rather than a scored competition.

This award shows demand from Coventry City Council for independent evaluation of a live electric vehicle charging pilot, specifically static wireless charging delivered through its local infrastructure programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need research and evaluation capability, including the ability to monitor a trial and assess its delivery and results independently. Experience relevant to electric vehicle charging or transport infrastructure pilots would help a supplier understand the subject being evaluated. The work is a focused research consultancy commission, not a large equipment supply or installation contract. Coventry University College Limited, an SME, was selected through a direct award, so this outcome does not establish the requirements or scoring that would apply in a future competitive procurement.
