## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, in partnership with the London Borough of Sutton, is in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Local EV Infrastructure Fund (LEVI) - Partnership 9 Pre-Market Engagement." This procurement, listed under the services industry category, has a focus on transport equipment and installation services, aiming to support the development and implementation of electric vehicle infrastructure. Located in the UK, the opportunity's preliminary market engagement is scheduled from 10th to 17th October 2025. The procurement process is above threshold with a total value estimated at GBP 12 million. The current status is planning, with a contract period expected to commence on 1st June 2026 and conclude on 2nd June 2036.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport equipment and installation services, particularly those with expertise in implementing infrastructure projects. The pre-market engagement phase offers companies the chance to shape the final tender specifications and align their capabilities to meet the evolving needs of both borough councils. Businesses focusing on sustainable transportation solutions stand to benefit from participating in this procurement, as they can contribute to the growing electric vehicle market in the UK while expanding their business footprint. Engaging early in these discussions through the pre-market questionnaire can secure a competitive advantage ahead of the formal tendering phase.

## Notice

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Sutton (LEVI Partnership 9) previously issued an initial set of soft market engagement questions in October 2023 to inform the development of the LEVI Partnership 9 Project. Since that time, the LEVI Capital Scheme has progressed, and new guidance, considerations, and recommendations have been introduced for authorities developing LEVI-funded projects. To ensure the forthcoming procurement exercise reflects these updates and market developments, we are issuing a revised soft market engagement questionnaire prior to commencing the LEVI tendering process.

### Planning Information

This pre-market engagement will run for one week only, from Friday 10th October to Friday 17th October.
