Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council, in association with Angus Council, is undertaking an open procurement process for the project titled "PKC12940 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure". This initiative aims to appoint a qualified supplier to design, operate, and maintain an electric vehicle charging network in the regions of Perth & Kinross and Angus. The project, under the services category, is part of the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF) efforts to boost EV infrastructure. Initially planned for July 2025, the tendering process has advanced to the update stage as of June 2026, with a deadline extension to 29th June 2026. Perth & Kinross Council acts as the leading authority managing this contract, emphasizing quality and sustainability throughout the contract, valued at £135 million, and funded in part by Transport Scotland's EVIF grant and private investments.

The tender represents significant prospects for enterprises skilled in electric vehicle infrastructure, particularly those proficient in service contracts involving installation and operation of charging units. Firms with experience in public EV charging solutions, technical competences, and economic stability are well-suited for this tender. With criteria emphasizing quality (80%) and price (20%), businesses can leverage their expertise in delivering robust and accessible EV networks. Participation requires evidence of prior relevant projects, adherence to quality certifications (ISO 9001 or equivalent), and substantial financial standing, including insurance coverage. This project supports sustainable growth and community benefits, aligning with Transport Scotland's strategic vision and delivering substantial societal enhancements across the involved council areas.

PKC12940 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

Notice Description

Perth & Kinross Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced supplier to enter into a service contract to operate, maintain and deliver Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF).

Lot Information

Lot 1

In 2022/23, Transport Scotland introduced the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF) with the objective of unlocking private sector investment to expand the current network, in particular to locations that may be less commercially viable. Perth and Kinross Council and Angus Council are collaborating to deliver a fair, accessible and ambitious EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) network that meets the needs of residents, workers and visitors throughout the region. Perth and Kinross Council, as the lead authority, will undertake a joint open procurement procedure to award a supplier with a concession contract to: * Migrate and upgrade the existing EVCI network of 135 units currently operated by ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) onto the new supplier's back office; * Design, install and commission a new network of 183 EVCI at proposed sites, funded by a combination of EVIF funding and private sector investment; * Operate and maintain the whole network of EVCI in alignment with Council defined Key Performance Indicators; * Deliver the strategic objectives set out in Transport Scotland's Vision for EV Charging Infrastructure in Scotland; * Deliver a well-designed, comprehensive and people-focused public charge point network. The approach to deploying a new EVCI network will ensure that residents without access to off-street parking in urban and rural locations will be able to charge their EV at a nearby charging hub, on-street solution, or public car park-based charger. The Councils have received an EVIF grant of 1,987,678 GBP from Transport Scotland to support the delivery of the expanded EVCI network. In addition to the EVIF grant allocation, approximately 700,000 GBP of private sector capital investment will be required to support the delivery of the new network.
