How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
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.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
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.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
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.
Half of these awards have an award date within 59 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
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.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

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.

This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) notice is being used to enable the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (the “Council”) to understand key details from the EVI market. It is intended that the outcome of this PME will be used to further inform the Council's procurement, service, and contract model, but the Council is under no obligation to any potential Supplier and/or makes no guarantees to any party, resulting from feedback received to this PME.
Please note that the estimated contract value included in this PME Notice is a total figure based on the Council’s current chargepoint portfolio. This value is likely to differ in the Tender Notice, as a result of the lotting structure, and/or responses received to this PME exercise, etc.
If you have any questions, these must be submitted through capitalEsourcing, by no later than 12:00 noon Thursday, 12th March 2026. Questions received and responses provided by the Council will be shared anonymously via capitalEsourcing as part of this PME.
This PME must not be considered as confirmation by the Council that any future procurement opportunity will be forthcoming as a result of any activity undertaken as part of the Council’s PME. The Council does not bind itself to running a procurement, or awarding any resultant contract, following the conclusion of this PME.
In accordance with the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54), the Council is committed to conducting this PME in such a way that it does not put a supplier at an unfair advantage or disadvantage. The Council will not adopt any technical advice in the preparation of any procurement activity from anyone where this may prejudice this requirement or otherwise distort competition.
