## Summary

The procurement process is currently in the planning stage for the Local EV Infrastructure Fund (LEVI) - Partnership 9, led by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in collaboration with the London Borough of Sutton. This procurement initiative is classified under the services category, with a focus on transport equipment and installation services, excluding software. The pre-market engagement phase runs from 10th October to 17th October 2025. The project's objective is to develop the LEVI Partnership 9 Project in line with recent updates to the LEVI Capital Scheme, preparing for an upcoming tender exercise slated to commence in 2026. The estimated gross contract value is £12,000,000, with the actual project tender anticipated to open around March 2026, covering work to be executed from June 2026 to June 2036, across the UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the transportation and infrastructure sectors, particularly those specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure and installation services. Companies with experience in managing large-scale transportation projects might find this initiative conducive to expanding their portfolios and increasing their market footprint. The collaboration between the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Sutton suggests a significant local government investment in EV infrastructure, promising consistent work flow and potential for long-term growth. Businesses capable of delivering innovative and sustainable solutions are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aligns with modern transportation trends influenced by environmental considerations and advancements in public transport systems.

## 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.
