This procurement initiative falls under the industry category of services and focuses on the electricity supply and installations, primarily targeting the UKL23 region in the United Kingdom. The Council is conducting preliminary market engagement to refine its procurement strategy before officially releasing requests for quotations. Interested parties are encouraged to engage by 29th August 2025. This engagement exercise aligns with the Council's net-zero aspirations and its plan to transition from diesel vans to electric ones, particularly for its Direct Labour Organisation's operations. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in electrical installation, mechanical equipment installation, electricity distribution, and associated vehicle services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, given the contract's suitability criteria. The Council's exploration of home EV charging solutions offers businesses the chance to contribute to an innovative project poised to support sustainability in public services. The anticipated contract period begins in January 2026, signalling a long-term partnership potential for qualified suppliers ready to engage with Wrexham County Borough Council in revolutionising its vehicle maintenance fleet. ## Notice To help define and develop Wrexham County Borough Councils (WCBC) Procurement Strategy for Electric Vehicle (EV) home chargers, WCBC wishes to engage with potential providers prior to the release of any official procurement exercise or requests for quotations. The purpose of this engagement/market testing is to provide the Council with the opportunity to better understand the market in order to refine its approach and shape future service delivery. Once WCBC has engaged with the market and understood the offerings available, a procurement exercise may be conducted (route to market currently undecided). Currently the Council has a contract in place for the hire and maintenance of 91 diesel vans which are used by the Councils Direct Labour Organisation (DLO) to carry out various repairs and maintenance work to the Councils Housing portfolio of over 11,000 properties. These vans are often taken home by the DLO, away from WCBC offices, and refuelled across the County Borough using fuel cards. Going forward as part of WCBC's net zero aspirations it is possible that WCBC will transition away from diesel vans to electric, but in order to maintain continuity of service and to support a flexible delivery model, an appropriate charging infrastructure is required. To support this, WCBC is considering the possibility of installing EV chargers at private residences to provide the DLO with the ability to charge a Council owned vehicle at their home address. The purpose of this market engagement exercise is therefore to better understand the market for home EV chargers and the associated practicalities and challenges of an employer installing EV chargers at home addresses.
