Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking a supplier for the supply, installation, operation, management and maintenance of a network of public residential electric vehicle charge points and associated services under LEVI Tender 1. This supplier-funded contract, supported by £1,298,000 of the Council’s LEVI grant allocation, requires delivery of a minimum of 500 on-street charge points (Group A) and 200 hub charge points in car parks and parking areas (Group B) at speeds of 7–22 kW across identified settlements in Central Bedfordshire. The contract term is 15 years with a 12-month administrative extension option, and the Council seeks an end-to-end turnkey partner committed to maximising LEVI funding and investing in the area.

This could be valuable for EV infrastructure suppliers able to deliver end-to-end turnkey solutions and to fund and operate long-term networks; key considerations include meeting the minimum delivery targets (500 on-street, 200 hub), supplying 7–22kW chargers, managing supplier-funded financing alongside the £1,298,000 grant, and committing to a 15-year operational contract across multiple settlements.
