In plain English
Camden and Islington councils are looking for a single company to supply, install, and run at least 1,100 electric vehicle charging points built into lamp columns across both boroughs. The councils will provide £1.2m in government funding, and the operator must cover any additional costs to deliver the full project.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and install a minimum of 1,100 lamp column electric vehicle charge points (500 in Camden, 600 in Islington) • Operate and maintain all charge points throughout the contract term • Decommission and remove charge points at the end of the contract if required • In Camden, coordinate with the council's existing maintenance contracts to install 500 new lamp columns to house the charge points
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract requires a charge point operator with significant experience and funding to build and run a large EV network across two London boroughs: most small independent electricians or tradespersons will lack the scale, capital, operational infrastructure, and sector experience needed to win. You would need to be an established EV charging company or a large utility/energy provider.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
