About

Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking a supplier for the supply, installation, operation, management and maintenance of on-street lamppost electric vehicle charge points (up to 5kW) under LEVI Tender 2. The council has been allocated £1,413,000 through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund and this specific project is supplier-funded with support of £100,000 from that allocation; it requires delivery of a minimum of 800 on-street lamppost charge points across residential areas and settlements in Central Bedfordshire. The contract term is 15 years with a 12-month administrative extension option, and appointment is one of two separate concession contracts split by technology (lampposts for Tender 2 and 7–22kW on-street/hub for Tender 1); providers may bid for either opportunity but cannot be awarded both. Full details are in the tender documents and evidence base.

Insight

This could be valuable for suppliers able to deliver an end-to-end lamppost charging solution and fund installations while providing long-term operation and maintenance. Key considerations include meeting the minimum 800-unit deployment target, deploying lower-powered (up to 5kW) chargers across multiple settlements, and delivering a 15-year service with only £100,000 of LEVI grant support.
