The procurement process is set within the services industry category, with an emphasis on transport and electrical installations, and will cover locations throughout the United Kingdom. Important dates include a milestone due on 14th November 2025 for completing a market engagement exercise. The procurement process is in its preliminary market engagement phase, and any potential tender will adhere to the Procurement Act 2023 if it proceeds to a formal stage. This procurement initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle-fleet management, electric vehicle supplies, battery solutions, and related fields. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as the framework seeks varied providers for its diverse lot structure, including site surveys, charging hardware, EV security, and more. Businesses with expertise in these areas can benefit significantly by securing long-term contracts that facilitate direct orders from end customers, thus supporting sustained growth and market positioning within the public sector. ## Notice YPO are looking for Providers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the provision of Charging of a Service (CaaS) should this PME progress to full tender. It is proposed that we will be looking for the following Lot Structure :- Lot 1 - Site Survey / Site Appraisals Lot 2 - Charging Hardware, Software and Back Office Solutions Lot 3 - Management, Maintenance, Support and Repairs Lot 4 - Charging and Billing Lot 5 - Disposal and Recycling of Hardware Lot 6 - Battery Disposal and Recycling Lot 7 - EV Cyber Security Lot 8 - Vehicle Acquisition Lot 9 - Finance Lot 10 - External Battery Solutions Lot 11 - Training Lot 12 - EV Fuel Cards Lot 13 - One Stop Shop / Full Turn Key Solutions As part of the PME, we have created a brief questionnaire for both customers and suppliers which can be found here: Customers (Contracting Authorities): https://forms.office.com/e/qxRuL8jaa7 Suppliers: https://forms.office.com/e/pBQ0JJJjzw Following the questionnaire, there is an option to engage further as part of this PME which can be arranged on a one to one basis. It is proposed that this Framework will form a contractual relationship where the end customer will place orders directly with the Provider on a "contract" basis and the Provider will deliver direct to the end customer on an agreed basis. This is subject to change following the conclusion of our market engagement process. The request for information is to undertake pre-market engagement only and is being sought without prejudice and without commitment. Any information provided will not be used to determine the outcome of the tender process. When, or if, YPO wishes to proceed further a formal procurement process will be followed in accordance with YPO's contract procedure rules and in line with the Procurement Act 2023. ### Planning Information We are looking to engage with the market to determine if the proposed Framework would be a suitable route to market for both suppliers and customers alongside determining if the Lot selection is appropriate and what Terms and Conditions are utilised within this market.
