## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council, serving as the lead authority alongside Angus Council, has initiated an active tender process with the title "PKC12940 Electric Vehicle Infrastructure," focusing on electrical services within the regions of Perth & Kinross and Angus. This procurement, with an estimated value of £135 million, involves operating, maintaining, and expanding an Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure network. The concession contract aims to migrate 135 existing charge points managed by ChargePlace Scotland, commission new sites, and align with Transport Scotland's strategic objectives. The tender was initiated on 15th April 2026, with submissions required by 26th June 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, ensuring transparency and broad competition among suppliers for delivering services crucial to public EV charging infrastructure development.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical and infrastructure services to contribute to the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions. Companies with expertise in electric vehicle charging systems, network operations, and infrastructure deployment are ideally suited to compete. The required services include designing, installing, and maintaining a comprehensive public charge point network, emphasising community benefits in terms of economic, social, and environmental improvement. Potential suppliers are expected to meet stringent selection criteria, including financial stability and technical competence, along with a demonstrated commitment to quality and environmental management, providing a robust platform for growth in the EV charging sector.

## Notice

Perth & Kinross Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced supplier to enter into a service contract to operate, maintain and deliver Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF). This contract will be used by Angus Council and Perth & Kinross Council with Perth & Kinross Council acting as the Lead Authority.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In 2022/23, Transport Scotland introduced the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (EVIF) with the objective of unlocking private sector investment to expand the current network, in particular to locations that may be less commercially viable. Perth and Kinross Council and Angus Council are collaborating to deliver a fair, accessible and ambitious EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) network that meets the needs of residents, workers and visitors throughout the region. Perth and Kinross Council, as the lead authority, will undertake a joint open procurement procedure to award a supplier with a concession contract to: * Migrate and upgrade the existing EVCI network of 135 units currently operated by ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) onto the new supplier's back office; * Design, install and commission a new network of 183 EVCI at proposed sites, funded by a combination of EVIF funding and private sector investment; * Operate and maintain the whole network of EVCI in alignment with Council defined Key Performance Indicators; * Deliver the strategic objectives set out in Transport Scotland's Vision for EV Charging Infrastructure in Scotland; * Deliver a well-designed, comprehensive and people-focused public charge point network. The approach to deploying a new EVCI network will ensure that residents without access to off-street parking in urban and rural locations will be able to charge their EV at a nearby charging hub, on-street solution, or public car park-based charger. The Councils have received an EVIF grant of 1,987,678 GBP from Transport Scotland to support the delivery of the expanded EVCI network. In addition to the EVIF grant allocation, approximately 700,000 GBP of private sector capital investment will be required to support the delivery of the new network.
