What is being bought

Published requirement description

Haringey Council is in the process of updating its transport strategies. In addition to its emerging Safe and Sustainable Transport Strategy and emerging Kerbside Strategy, the emerging Haringey Electric Vehicle Strategy sets out how the Council will support the use of electric vehicles in the borough, with a plan to enhance and develop our network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Key to our ambition is ensuring all drivers have access to a high-quality electric vehicle chargepoint network, whilst also ensuring that the chargepoint network is future proof and innovative.

This process is to allow for the collection of pre-market information to support Haringey Council (the Council) with understanding the market for delivering electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 173 of 227 known-size awards · market: CPV 3115 · UK-wide, n=20
76%85%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 215 of 234 known-location awards · market: CPV 3115 · Greater London, n=8
92%38%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 5 decided notices · market: CPV 3115 · UK-wide, n=11
57 days103 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 57 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

The buyer’s share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: at least 105 of 301 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 3115 · Greater London, n=9
35%67%

Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    The Council currently has arrangements in place with several charging point operators, to provide charge points on the public highway throughout the borough. The majority of these charge points are rated between standard and fast (7kW-50kW), with limited provision for rapid charging.

    We are looking for operator(s) to provide charging options to meet differing needs of users, to meet both the current and projected increase in demand, with arrangements secured by contract. It is anticipated that these contract(s) will last for a duration of at least 15-years.

    We expect operator(s) to be able to supply, install and operate electric vehicle charging infrastructure themselves, as part of concessionary arrangements. It is not anticipated that the Council will have any capital to put toward infrastructure.

    The Council would like to find out about the different options that the market currently or potentially offers, along with the types of innovation or areas of best practice that are being developed and could meet the Council's current and projected future requirements.

    Please note that information provided is purely for information only, and to inform the Council of solutions that it may not already be aware of. It may also inform and shape any future requirements, whilst reflecting common traits across the marketplace, where appropriate.

    Any future commercial arrangement aims to:

    • Deliver electric vehicle charging infrastructure which meets the demands of residents and visitors to the borough
    • Instil confidence that there is operational capacity to respond to any issues in a timely and efficient manner, which reduces the need for Council resource interventions
    • Provide usage data for reporting, ongoing management and broader analysis of trends
    • Foster a strong working relationship between not only the Council and the operator(s), but also with other stakeholders across the borough
    • Mobilise to deliver the agreed service upon completion of any subsequent procurement exercise

    The pre-market engagement will run from April 20, 2026, till June 6, 2026, at 23.00 hours.
