## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, in partnership with Dorset Council, has successfully awarded a contract for the Local Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (LEVCI) project. The objective of this procurement process, conducted under the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 using an open procedure, was to supply, install, operate, and maintain public electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the South West of the United Kingdom. The tender, which had a procurement value of £30 million, was published on 18th February 2025, with a tender period ending on 9th April 2025. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £64.2 million, commenced on 30th September 2025 and spans 15 years, with a potential extension subject to administrative considerations. CONNECTED KERB has been selected as the supplier, tasked with managing the project across two separate contracts formed with each Authority.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in electric vehicle infrastructure and related services. Particularly, companies offering expertise in the supply and installation of charging systems, as well as maintenance and operational support services, would find this project beneficial for growth. With a focus on fostering commercial investment and the expectation of a major financial contribution from the Concessionaire, this contract opens doors to substantial business engagement. Businesses that specialise in public-private partnerships, particularly those with experience in large-scale, long-term infrastructure projects, are well-suited to participate in similar initiatives in the future.

## Notice

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council and Dorset Council are inviting tenders from suitably qualified Service Providers to supply, install, operate and maintain Public Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) in the BCP Council area. BCP Council has been awarded LEVI funding of PS1.447m capital (provisional) and Dorset Council has been awarded LEVI funding of PS2.490m capital (provisional) subject to conditions. The Authorities are seeking to enter a Public Private Commercial Partnership (via a concession contract) to deliver this project. The Authorities will use the LEVI funding as a capital investment to cover costs associated with the installation of 7kw on-street residential charge points. The Authority's strategy is to see these sites delivered through commercial investment. The risk and responsibility associated with installation, maintenance, operations, and asset utilisation will lie with the Concessionaire, who will be expected to finance the capital with the contribution of LEVI funding and replacement costs of the charging infrastructure themselves. The DfT OZEV has provided a clear instruction to Local Authorities that it expects a minimum funding contribution by the Concessionaire to be greater than 60% of the LEVI subsidy. We are conducting a joint tender between Dorset and BCP with the intention to award to a single supplier under two separate contracts made between each Authority and the Concessionaire. The duration of the Contract will be fifteen (15) years. There is the potential for an extension on the same terms for administrative constraints of one year, without a commitment to extend, at the discretion of the Authorities. The Council is carrying out this procurement under the Open Procedure pursuant to the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016.
