EV Charging Contracts and Tenders

Chargepoint installation on streets, in car parks and at council depots is the largest share, alongside contracts to operate and maintain a charging network once it is live. Back-office charge point management systems, handling payment, monitoring and reporting, and fleet depot charging for a buyer's own vehicles both turn up regularly too.

Stotles brings together EV charging tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Public charging is often let as a concession funded through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure programme, and fleet chargers are called off from frameworks such as Scotland Excel's EV charging framework.

EV charging tenders are scored on site delivery programme, reliability and uptime, tariff and revenue share, accessibility, back-office software and maintenance. Concessions run for many years, so operators are judged on long-term service as much as installation.

Public chargepoints must meet the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, and installers need electrical competence under the Wiring Regulations and connection approval from the network operator. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar installations at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Councils lead this category by a wide margin, often delivering public on-street and car park charging through government-backed local infrastructure funding. Police forces and other blue-light services add a smaller but steady stream of depot and fleet charging work as they electrify their own vehicles.

Read net zero and energy strategies, infrastructure investment plans, framework renewals and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show EV charging work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

EV charging notices carry 31158100 (Battery chargers), 45310000 (Electrical installation work) and 34144900 (Electric vehicles).
