This project, titled "The Supply of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and Associated Services 2025-2040," falls under the installation of cable infrastructure industry category. The tender, published on 20th February 2025, is currently in the tender amendment stage. It involves installing, connecting, commissioning, operating, and maintaining a minimum of 512 new electric vehicle charging sockets at various locations within the Borough, aiming to benefit residents without off-street parking. The procurement follows an open procedure and potential suppliers must submit their bids by 1st June 2025. The contract commences on 6th October 2025 and concludes on 5th October 2040. The project is located in the East of England, with specific delivery addresses including those within postal code MK42 9AP. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specializing in electric vehicle infrastructure, renewable energy solutions, and urban development. Businesses capable of providing a full turnkey solution—encompassing supply, installation, maintenance, and operation—are well-suited to compete for this contract. The requirement to match council investment with private funding adds an incentive for organisations with strong investment partnerships and innovative financing models. Additionally, companies looking to expand their market presence in the East of England or those seeking long-term projects will find this contract particularly attractive. Given the project's emphasis on community benefits and environmental sustainability, firms with a proven track record in these areas will have a competitive advantage. ## Notice The purpose of this ITT is to appoint a single Charge Point Operator, to deliver Bedford Borough Council's requirements for a "full turnkey" solution to supply, install, connect, commission, operate and maintain a network of charge points on behalf of the Council across the Borough. We expect the winning bidder to deliver a minimum of 512 additional new Electric Vehicle "sockets" (as defined in the Contract at Schedule 4), of which: i) A minimum of 256 sockets to be located at our required sites as set out in Portfolios 1, 2 and 3 (see section 2.2.3 in this document for further information), with our PS1.01m subsidy to support installations. ii) Further to this we would like the operator to match and extend our investment through private funding with a minimum additional 256 sockets, at our required sites or at additional sites (to be agreed with the Council). iii) The total minimum delivery of at least 512 additional new Electric Vehicle "sockets." To this end, Bedford Borough Council (BBC) is primarily seeking for its required 256 sockets at the stated locations, a charging solution involving 7kw - 22kw power charge points across the Borough-wide network, to benefit residents without off street parking.
