Summary of the contracting process

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited is seeking a concessionaire to operate, maintain and expand its electric vehicle charging infrastructure portfolio. The work includes managing existing charge points, delivering an identified pipeline of infrastructure deployments and supporting further growth and commercial expansion as opportunities arise. This is an end-to-end operating and maintenance service for electric vehicle charging facilities, rather than the supply of standalone equipment. Delivery is across Scotland’s Central Belt and Dumfries and Galloway. The requirement is classified as a services contract and is intended for an organisation able to take responsibility for the ongoing operation, maintenance and development of a housing group’s charging network.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through electronic submission. It is a single-lot concession arrangement. The final tender deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00, following several extensions linked to updated tender packs, terms and contract forms. The concession is for seven years, with an option to extend for a further three years; the stated lot duration is 2,520 days. Its estimated value is £2.5 million including VAT status as published, in GBP. Participation is subject to the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023. Performance requirements are set out in the tender documents and those regulations. Bids must be submitted in English.

This opportunity suits an experienced electric vehicle infrastructure operator, charge-point network manager or specialist concessionaire able to manage the full service lifecycle. Relevant capability includes operating and maintaining an existing portfolio of charging points, planning and delivering new infrastructure, handling asset and network performance, and identifying commercially viable expansion opportunities. Suppliers will need the operational capacity to support an established housing-sector portfolio while scaling deployments and responding to growth over the concession term. Familiarity with the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 is a stated suitability requirement, so businesses with demonstrable regulatory knowledge and compliant operating processes are well placed. The requirement may also suit a consortium combining charging technology, field maintenance, infrastructure delivery and commercial management expertise.
