## Summary

Buckinghamshire Council plans to procure a supplier-funded electric vehicle charging service across Buckinghamshire. The work is expected to cover new rapid and ultra-rapid chargepoints, rated up to 150kW, on Council-owned land, alongside continued operation, maintenance and replacement of existing 7kW chargepoints, mainly in Council-owned car parks. The supplier would finance, install, operate and maintain the charging infrastructure and provide charging services to drivers. This combines electrical installation and equipment provision with long-term operational management of a public charging network. The procurement is categorised as a service, with works and equipment also integral to delivery. The commercial model is intended to fund the infrastructure through the supplier rather than Council investment.

This is at the planning stage: Buckinghamshire Council has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish the next procurement notice on 7 October 2027; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The planned contract period runs from 1 May 2028 to 30 April 2043. The stated estimated value is £60,228,387 excluding VAT (£72,274,064.40 including VAT). The procurement is planned as a concession, with one lot covering the work across the county. The Council’s description indicates a supplier-funded model in which charging services are provided to end users. No separate evaluation basis or participation requirements are set out in the planning information.

This planned contract is likely to suit an electric vehicle charging network operator able to finance infrastructure and take responsibility for its installation, operation, maintenance and replacement over a long service period. Suppliers will need capability in deploying rapid and ultra-rapid chargers as well as managing existing lower-powered units, including charging equipment and electrical installation. Experience operating public charging services for end users and maintaining equipment at multiple Council-owned locations would be relevant. The supplier-funded concession model favours businesses able to develop a commercial approach around charging services, rather than suppliers whose role is limited to selling equipment or carrying out installation. The scope combines new network build with ongoing operation of existing chargepoints, so suppliers with both delivery capacity and established operational support are well placed to prepare.

## Notice

Buckinghamshire Council intends to procure a fully funded solution for the provision of electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the county. The opportunity is expected to include the installation, operation, maintenance, and management of new rapid and ultra-rapid electric vehicle chargepoints (up to 150kW) on Council-owned land. The opportunity is also expected to include the continued operation, maintenance, and replacement of existing 7kW chargepoints currently located primarily within Council-owned car parks. The Council is seeking a supplier-funded commercial model under which the successful supplier will finance, install, operate and maintain the infrastructure and provide charging services to end users.
