## Summary

Dundee City Council recently completed an open procurement process for managing Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Hubs and Infrastructure in Dundee City under procurement ID: DCC/CD/82/24. The primary focus of this procurement is on electricity distribution and related services. The process concluded with an active award for Lot 1 to SWARCO Smart Charging Limited on 11th September 2025, involving the operation and expansion of existing charging hubs and depots. Although Lot 2 did not receive an award, the council plans to potentially readvertise this segment based on market feedback, possibly modifying the ownership model. Key aspects such as hardware solutions, design and installation, charge point management, and community benefits influence the award decision. The contract is valued at approximately GBP 45,198,677.83, which reflects an estimate of the gross income collected over the contract's 20-year duration. The procurement method followed was an open procedure under the legal basis CELEX 32014L0024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies in the electricity distribution and related services industry. With a total estimated revenue of GBP 46,000,000 for Lot 1 alone, the procurement project is poised for interested companies with capabilities in maintenance, repair, installation, and management of EV charging hubs and infrastructure in Dundee. The project specifically caters to electric vehicle infrastructure development with technical criteria ranging from hardware solutions and charge point management systems to customer engagement and community benefits. Large companies with expertise in these services, such as SWARCO Smart Charging Limited, which successfully secured Lot 1, are particularly well-positioned to compete in the subsequent tender process for the re-advertised Lot 2. Businesses looking to capitalize on a growing market in sustainable transport solutions will find this alignment with Dundee City Council's objectives particularly appealing.
