The Council is seeking to gain valuable market input through engagement with appropriately experienced & qualified EV charging infrastructure operators via a series of 1-1 on-line TEAMS meetings between the 14th - 21st November 2025. Further details on the booking process, deadlines, project team, meeting format, agenda discussion points, documentation, etc. are included within the PME brief document which is accessible via the Council's e-sourcing solution In-tend. The LEVI Fund has the following key objectives: • Deliver a step-change in the deployment of local, primarily low power, on-street charging infrastructure across England • Accelerate the commercialisation of, and investment in, the local charging infrastructure sector The Councils own Portsmouth 'Electric Vehicle Infrastructure' (EVI) strategy has the following key objectives: • Prioritise electric vehicle infrastructure for residents, enabling conversion to electric vehicles • Transform charging infrastructure provision in Portsmouth to promote it as an EV friendly destination for those visiting and working here • Working with fleet operators to support conversion to EV, including provision of infrastructure where required • Work in partnership to support shared and public modes conversion to EV. The Council has secured £3,682,000 LEVI funding, £3.5M of which will be used to part fund the delivery of EV chargepoints. The successful operator will be expected to secure and deploy the majority of capital funding required, in line with the LEVI objectives for commercialisation, leveraging private investment and enabling cross-subsidisation. The LEVI funding cannot be utilised for the on-going operation, maintenance and end of contract decommissioning of the infrastructure which will have to be met by the operator. Since the first PME process undertaken earlier this year over May - June (PME Notice: 2025/S 000-014127), the Council has undertaken further long-term demand analysis and infrastructure requirements modelling. As a result of this the Council is now considering altering its approach for EV infrastructure delivery in relation to chargepoint numbers, technologies, output, locations and customer access but is seeking to gain the views of the market before making any formal decisions. The Council will use the market feedback gained from this PME process to finalise its approach. Approval will then be sought from the Council's Cabinet Member for Transport at the public meeting scheduled for 5th February 2026 to proceed to submission of the final business case and documentation to the funder, being the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). In line with LEVI fund objectives and the Council's objectives, mo... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/electric-vehicle-charging-infrastructure-associated-services-levi-fund-portsmouth-partner--ocds-h6vhtk-050028) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 09310000, 31213000, 31681500, 45113000, 45231400, 45233270 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 06/09/2026 to 06/09/2041 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F069913-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-10-30T23:31:41.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-29T17:15:45.717Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-050028
