## Summary

The Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council has completed the awarding process for the "Concession Contract for Local Electrical Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Installation, Operation and Maintenance". This contract focuses on the installation and maintenance of public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the Blackburn with Darwen area. Classified under CPV code 45220000, which covers engineering and construction works, this initiative is geared towards expanding charge points in regions with high street parking demands. The project benefits from a capital funding allocation of £1.6 million from the LEVI Fund. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the contract being awarded on 13th October 2025 to Connected Kerb, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME). The tender process, active until 7th March 2025, culminated in a contract set to commence on 14th October 2025 and conclude on 13th October 2040.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering works and construction, particularly those who support the green and sustainable infrastructure sectors. SMEs are well-suited to engage with this type of project, given the council's focus on supporting small businesses and the decision to engage with an SME supplier. Companies specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure and related services could leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their footprint in the growing market of sustainable transport solutions. Additionally, the long-term nature of the contract offers a stable and enduring partnership for capable suppliers looking to contribute to regional innovation and infrastructure expansion.
