## Summary

South Gloucestershire Council bought a trial service to install channels across pavements, allowing residents to charge electric vehicles parked on public residential roads when they have no off-street parking. The work involves installing cable infrastructure. The council will subsidise installations for residents on low incomes or with disabilities. The installations are in South Gloucestershire, in the Bristol area. The trial is part-funded by the Department for Transport’s Electric Vehicle Pavement Channels Grant.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to KERBO CHARGE LTD. The council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2031. Its value is £113,000 excluding VAT (£135,600 including VAT). The requirement was handled as a single lot. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or a competitive selection basis.

This award shows South Gloucestershire Council’s demand for practical electric-vehicle charging infrastructure for residential streets, particularly where homes lack off-street parking. A credible supplier for similar work would need to install pavement channels that enable charging while vehicles are parked on public roads, and deliver installations suited to residents’ needs. The council’s trial includes subsidised installations for low-income and disabled residents, so suppliers should be able to support delivery that accommodates these groups. The awarded supplier is an SME, demonstrating that a smaller specialist business can deliver this requirement. The council used a direct award without competition for this contract; the award does not establish a competitive evaluation model for future requirements.
