## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is in the planning stage of procuring a back-office system and portal/application for managing electric vehicle (EV) charge points. This project aims to streamline management and enhance service quality for users and the council, featuring a responsive customer service and a comprehensive application for EV charge point management. The focus is currently on premarket engagement, with a deadline set for 1 July 2026 for participation in an online questionnaire. Located in Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, the procurement is within the service industry category and involves regions within the UK, specifically UKH12. The council aims to commence the new contract by 12 October 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in electric vehicles, software development, and IT consulting services. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate due to the procurement's suitability criteria. Engaging in the premarket phase enables businesses to influence the development of the service specification, potentially enhancing their competitive edge in the final tendering stage. Businesses equipped with innovative solutions for EV charge management and IT services are well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity.

## Notice

The Council is looking to procure a Corporate wide solution of the various Electric vehicle charge points, the Council has installed over recent years. This is to simplify the management and improve the service for both the end user and Council with a responsive & dedicated customer and account managed service, and a single app to use for Council EV charge points. As this is a fairly new service, the Council is seeking advice, insights, answers to questions to help develop the specification for this service. Bidders who are interested to participate in sharing their insights and suggestion should message the Procurement lead to request the premarket engagement document and link to the online Questionnaire. The Council is keen to have a new contract in place in the last half of 2026. This is a follow up Premarket Engagement, previous notice 11th March 2026, focusing on the most suitable business model for the portfolio of EV Charge points the Council has.

### Planning Information
