## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, in collaboration with the London Borough of Sutton, is currently in the planning stage of the "Local EV Infrastructure Fund (LEVI) - Partnership 9" tender process. This procurement, focused on services, specifically targets the installation of transport equipment and auxiliary products. The project is situated in the United Kingdom, falling under the jurisdiction of both boroughs, with key engagements spanning from 10th October to 24th October 2025. Interested parties have a submission deadline extended to 12 noon on 24th October 2025 for the pre-market engagement. This stage sets the groundwork for a high-value contract expected to commence on 1st June 2026, with an estimated gross value of £12,000,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transport equipment, installation services, and infrastructure projects, particularly those with a focus on electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. It propels growth for companies adept in executing large-scale projects in public authority frameworks and offers long-term engagement through its 10-year contract period. The procurement is well suited for enterprises that can navigate and adapt to updated market considerations, as detailed in the recently revised soft market engagement questionnaire by the councils. With a substantial budget allocation and an extensive contract timeline, businesses can significantly enhance their portfolio and reputation by partaking in this promising governmental initiative.

## 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.
