Procurement description The University of Birmingham ("the University") is procuring a Framework for the provision, installation, ongoing operation and support of a single, integrated EV charging infrastructure and managed service at the University of Birmingham. The scope of the Framework shall include, but not be limited to: 1. The provision of the following services: • Design, supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing operation of EV charging infrastructure across University car parks, covering staff, student and visitor charging • Migration and consolidation of the University’s existing EV charging network (40 connectors) across 33 charge points, plus a further 6 connectors in development, from its current single-operator arrangement • Proactive, automated fault monitoring and response, delivering a material improvement in network reliability against current service levels • Capture and management of University fleet vehicle charging data, which is not currently captured • Working in partnership with the University to deliver an ongoing Feasibility Study, identifying growth opportunities, and assessing further expansion sites, electrical capacity, and income-generation opportunities across the campus. • Supporting the resilience and future-proofing of the University’s charging network and its underlying operating model as demand for EV charging grows • Inclusion of our Edgbaston Park Hotel site, who’s EV charging requirement is an additional scope line The University of Birmingham is seeking to award to a single contractor/operator who will provide all the services required from this Framework contract.

May suit higher-footfall, commercially facing charging use cases, such as a proposed visitor-facing fast charging hub. Model 2 – Host-owned managed service Reflects the University’s current arrangement; may continue to suit the core, currently lower-utilisation campus network. The University welcomes views from respondents on which of these models, or a hybrid combination applied by use case, they consider most viable and invites proposals for alternative commercial models not described above. Responses to this notice will directly inform which commercial model(s) the University carries forward into the formal tender specification. The terms of awarded contract shall be fixed and ... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/framework-for-the-provision-of-electric-vehicle-ev-charging-infrastructure-and-managed-ser-ocds-h6vhtk-077f07) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 51110000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/01/2027 to 31/12/2029 - **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%2F093016-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-10-01T15:24:25.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T21:47:03.095Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-077f07
