## Summary

Tees Valley Combined Authority commissioned an update to its electric vehicle charging infrastructure strategy. This is a consultancy service focused on planning the infrastructure needed to support EV charging across the North East of England. The buyer is Tees Valley Combined Authority, which serves the Tees Valley area. The procurement was made through a call-off from a built-environment development support services framework, under its first lot. The requirement is for strategic advice and analysis rather than the supply or installation of charging equipment. Its relevance is therefore strongest for consultancies with experience in transport planning, electric vehicle charging networks and infrastructure strategy for public authorities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mott Macdonald Limited on 20 July 2026. The award value is £59,914. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 28 August 2027, with an option to extend by a further six months. The stated initial term is 12 months. The authority used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than running an open competition for this contract. The original tender deadline was 6 July 2026. The procurement is classified as a service and concerns business consultancy. The opportunity was designated unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For firms that did not win, this award shows that Tees Valley Combined Authority buys specialist consultancy to keep its electric vehicle charging infrastructure strategy up to date, using a framework call-off route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate relevant experience in EV charging network strategy, transport and infrastructure planning, and the ability to advise a public-sector authority on regional infrastructure needs. The selection of a large consultancy and the stated unsuitability for SMEs indicate that the buyer viewed this requirement as requiring capacity beyond what it considered appropriate for smaller firms or voluntary and community organisations. The commercial fit is strongest for established infrastructure and transport consultancies able to deliver strategic analysis at a regional scale.
