What is being bought

Published requirement description

This project is for the procurement for a concession contract for a single supplier to install, maintain and operate 23 EV charge points with built-in digital advertising screens at key destinations across the borough

  • No preliminary market engagement: A preliminary market engagement notice was not published for this procurement as sufficient engagement and research had already been undertaken prior to the tender process. Informal consultations were carried out during the project planning stage to assess suppliers capability, service delivery approaches, and indicative costs. It was determined that a further formal preliminary market engagement would not add new insight. Proceeding directly to tender was therefore considered a proportionate and efficient approach that maintains both transparency and value for money

What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
