The appointed Charge Point Network Operator will provide the EV Charge Point Management System, migrate the network from the existing ChargePlace Scotland platform, and then operate the service. The scope covers customer support, payment processing, monitoring, reporting and account management for approximately 200 charge points. This is a technology-enabled operational service covering electric vehicle infrastructure back-office functions, rather than the installation of charge points themselves. The requirement is classified principally as public utilities services (CPV 65300000), with related software, telecommunications, maintenance and support activities. The procurement has reached tender: Stirling Council invited offers through an open procedure, submitted electronically in English. Bids were due by 15 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The estimated contract value is £315,000. The initial contract term is three years, represented as 1,080 days, with an option to extend by a further two years, giving a possible total term of five years. Evaluation includes price weighted at 60 and contract implementation quality weighted at 20. Variants are not allowed. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and community benefits form part of the evaluation and subsequent contract requirements. This opportunity suits a specialist charge point network operator or EV mobility technology provider able to run a live, customer-facing charging network at scale. Relevant capability includes supplying and operating a reliable charge point management platform, migrating data and services from an incumbent system, integrating payment processing, and providing continuous monitoring, reporting and account management. Suppliers should be able to support both public users and fleet operations across roughly 200 charge points, with the operational resilience and customer service needed for an area-wide network. Experience of ChargePlace Scotland or comparable EV platforms would be directly relevant to the migration requirement. The successful contractor must also deliver and report on community benefit commitments throughout the contract. ## Notice Stirling Council seeks a Charge Point Network Operator (CPNO) to provide EV Charge Point Management System (CPMS) services for its public and fleet charging network.
