## Summary

The procurement process led by the Department for Transport, located in London, has recently concluded the award stage for the project titled "SCI Feasibility Studies DNO 3 - NPG". This contract, associated with the services category, involves conducting feasibility studies aimed at developing the Strategic Charging Infrastructure Scheme for electric vehicle charging at Motorway Service Areas. The project falls under the direct procurement method, executed below the competitive threshold, and was legally based on the UKPGA 2023/54. Despite being below threshold, it showcases a focused approach by the central government authority to facilitate substantial investments in green infrastructure. The contract, valued at £26,208 gross, was awarded on 22 May 2026, and it pertains to the region encompassing the Strategic Road Network in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services or electric infrastructure development, particularly those focusing on innovative solutions for electric vehicle charging. Companies with expertise in addressing electricity network constraints and capable of contributing to the sustainability and growth of electric vehicle infrastructure in the UK would find this project particularly enticing. While the current contract was awarded to Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc, potential future phases or expansions of this initiative could provide ample opportunities for various businesses, especially those aiming to assist with innovative energy solutions and infrastructure development in the burgeoning field of zero-emission vehicles.

## Notice

The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles ("OZEV") is commissioning feasibility studies on 4 sites to provide detailed technical, cost and delivery information to support the development of a proposed financial intervention, the Strategic Charging Infrastructure Scheme. The aim of the Strategic Charging Infrastructure Scheme is to enable private sector investment in electric vehicle charging facilities at Motorway Service Areas (MSAs) on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) by addressing electricity network constraints. This will support the roll-out of visible, reliable and accessible en-route charging infrastructure to meet increasing demand for electric vehicles, enable longer-distance journeys, and support consumer confidence in the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to zero emission alternatives.
