The procurement stage is currently at the tender phase with an open procedure being utilised. The contract period is slated to start on 1 October 2025 and end on 30 September 2042. Interested parties should note that the deadline for tender submissions has been extended to 12 Noon on 13 June 2025. The procurement process is taking place in Taunton, United Kingdom, with Somerset Council acting as the contracting authority. This tender presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in electrical installation work, vehicle charging infrastructure, and transport services. While the opportunity is not specifically oriented towards SMEs and VCSEs, larger enterprises with expertise in these fields could benefit from the long-term contract duration and the evolving market for electric vehicle infrastructure. Companies with established capabilities in handling electrical distribution and recharging equipment would be well-suited to compete for this substantial opportunity to contribute to Somerset's green infrastructure development. ## Notice Concession contract for the supply of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Associated Services for Somerset Council. Please note a tender for a concession contract for the supply of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Associated Services for Somerset Council was published on 10 February 2025, FTS ref 2025/S 000-004293. National Grid (NGED), the principal Distribution Network Operator in Somerset, previously advised that the infrastructure and earthing requirements for connecting to the unmetered cable supply of existing lamp columns would prohibit the installation of chargepoints or satellite charging bollards in Somerset. In April, Somerset Council was informed about the introduction of the NGED Standard Document SD5F/1 which simplifies connections for both installers and distribution network operators. As a consequence of this advice the procedure for connecting multiple small low voltage connections (metered or unmetered) with a demand of up to 5.75 kVA, will now be permitted if the relevant demand criteria are met. Somerset Council has issued amendments to the documentation to reflect these changes, and the tender deadline has therefore been extended to 12 Noon, Friday 13 June 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/24a6efba-c42f-4f88-8a49-93e903234dd7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jun 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2025 - 30 Sep 2042 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOMERSET COUNCIL | | Locality | TAUNTON | | Post town | Taunton | | Postcode | TA1 4DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK62 Somerset | | Local authority | Somerset | | Electoral ward | Bishop's Hull & Taunton West | | Westminster constituency | Taunton and Wellington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work - 60 - Transport services (excl.
