This process, currently in the award stage, has resulted in a pending contract with CHAR.GY LIMITED. The procurement follows an open procedure and seeks to enhance the local infrastructure with a focus on construction, installation, and public utilities services, delivering a 15-year project. The appointed supplier is expected to commence work on 1st May 2026, with the contract valued up to £40.8 million. This initiative targets regions within the Isle of Wight identified under UKJ3 for deployment and operation. This contract offers significant business growth opportunities for companies in construction, engineering, and installation services that specialise in EV infrastructure. With CHAR.GY LIMITED selected as the supplier, other businesses can anticipate complementary demand for goods and services required to support this expansive project. SMEs such as EZO CHARGING LTD, Believ Limited, and SOLNET CONSULTANTS LIMITED, who were involved in the tendering process, demonstrate that small to medium-sized enterprises can have strong prospects in competing for related tenders and contracts. The project ensures substantial infrastructure development, promoting sustainable technology and services in residential communities lacking off-road parking. This development can prove to be a pivotal commercial opportunity within the public procurement landscape for companies aiming to expand their offerings and market reach. ## Notice The Authority has been awarded PS1.625m LEVI funding from the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund. Based on that funding and the resulting tender the Authority is now looking to award single concession contract for a supplier to install and operate an affordable and easy to use, reliable and widely accessible and recognisable Electric Vehicle (EV) charge point network across the Isle of Wight (the 'Contract') The form of contract has been developed in alignment with the LEVI Heads of Terms. The appointed Supplier will look to maximise use of the LEVI funding and deliver an ambitious project with a full solution offering end to end services. The appointed supplier will invest its own resources, to be used in conjunction with the LEVI funding, to significantly increase the number of public chargepoints available on the public highway network across the island. The project will involve the deployment of local, primarily low powered on street charging infrastructure which must focus on locations that serve residential communities and those residents that do not have access to off road car parking. The Supplier will deliver all aspects of the goods, services and works needed for the Project, which will include purchasing relevant Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI), connecting it to the grid and maintaining, upgrading and managing the operation of the chargepoint network across a 15-year term. ### Planning Information This is an initial preliminary market engagement notice and has an initial return date of 12 June 2025 for 14:00 hours.
