## Summary

The London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Barking and Dagenham are collaborating on the CO6128 LEVI Fast and Rapid Charger Project to install a minimum of 300 fast and 30 rapid electric vehicle charging points across the boroughs. The procurement is facilitated by Tower Hamlets, together with Barking and Dagenham, utilising LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) funding of £1.2 million awarded by the Department for Transport. The objective is to meet the growing demand for EV charging infrastructure over the next two years. Tower Hamlets will lead the procurement, with the project initiating from 11th February 2026 to 12th April 2036, subject to potential extension. The procurement has been conducted under an open procedure method and is currently at the award stage, awaiting contract signing on 23rd March 2026.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses, notably those specialising in electrical installation, road equipment, and electric vehicle charging solutions. The procurement method favours SMEs, incorporating criteria focused on quality, price, and social value, optimising value for money. Companies with expertise in electric and mechanical installation, and sustainable transport infrastructure, are well-positioned to benefit. The project entails entering into separate contracts with each borough, setting a foundation for long-term growth and partnerships within London's EV infrastructure sector. With a gross contract value of £90 million, this project not only supports sustainable transport initiatives but also provides substantial business prospects within the region.

## Notice

The main objective of the project is to procure a minimum of 300 fast charging points to meet the projected increase in demand for charging points in the borough over the next two years. The council has been awarded PS1.2m for funding new EV charging under the Department for Transport's LEVI (Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) scheme. One of the scheme's essential requirements to access the funding is for local authorities to form partnerships to purchase at scale and ensure value for money for public funding. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has partnered with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham to access the LEVI funding. LBTH is leading on the procurement of EV charging points across two London Boroughs. LEVI Partnership 4 (LP4) is made up of Tower Hamlets and Barking and Dagenham. LP4 is seeking to award contracts to deliver EV charging points across both boroughs The winning bidder will enter into separate contracts with each local authority. LP4 require a minimum of 300 fast (under 22kw) chargers in Tower Hamlets and 30 rapid chargers across both boroughs (26 in Barking and Dagenham and 4 in Tower Hamlets).
