The procurement is currently in the tender update stage and involves a competitive flexible procedure under the utilities special regime, with a total value of £2,000,000. Interested parties have until 14 January 2026, at 10 am to express their interest, and all submissions must be made electronically in English. The region of delivery includes UKI and UKJ, and the procurement covers categories including networking software, battery chargers, and electrical equipment for vehicles. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software programming, network infrastructure, and e-mobility services, particularly those capable of establishing reliable charging platforms and maintaining site charging infrastructure. The contract not only provides a financial growth opportunity with a potential contract term of up to 8 years but also allows companies to align with sustainable transport initiatives. Smaller enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, particularly those able to offer innovative technical solutions and reliable 24/7 support to ensure the operation of charging systems aligns with industry best practices and customer service standards. ## Notice Existing EV Charging infrastructure within Thames Water is ageing and does not meet the needs of the business in the future. Due to changes in supplier capability and to aid in reducing our carbon emissions, TW is aiming to ensure our infrastructure is capable of supporting a transition from ICE ( Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles to EVs in the future. To enable this transition of our fleet, we also need to consider the infrastructure required to keep these vehicles moving, and the systems needed to ensure our operations can continue to run smoothly with minimal impact to our customer service and downtime. Thames Water reserves the right to refine the award criteria. Please note that that deadline for asking for access to the PSQ & submitting of the PSQ is 14 January 2026, at 10 am. ### Lot Information E- Mobility Service Provider Platform A centralised e-mobility platform to manage all existing and future electric vehicle charging infrastructure across its estate. This platform will provide a single source of truth for charger usage, billing, user access, and operational insights, enabling the organisation to maximise charger uptime and support sustainable fleet operations.
