AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
This is a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) — essentially a pre-approved supplier list — for vehicle charging infrastructure. If you're approved to join it, government departments and public sector organisations can buy charging products and services directly from you without running individual tenders. The scheme runs until February 2029.
Requirements
- Must be able to supply vehicle charging infrastructure products and/or services
- Must meet Crown Commercial Service (CCS) pre-qualification standards
- Must comply with Public Contracts Regulations or Procurement Act requirements
- No specific technical certifications listed in this notice — check full DPS documentation for details on ISO standards, electrical certifications, or manufacturer accreditations required
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply and install EV charging points (hardware supply)
- Provide charging infrastructure maintenance and support services
- Deliver charging products to government and public sector buyers as they place orders through the DPS
How to Read This Tender
- 1A DPS is not a single contract — it's an approved supplier list. Once you join, government buyers can order from you directly, so volumes are unpredictable but potentially regular work.
- 2The key date is 23 February 2029 — this is when the entire DPS closes, so you'd need to rejoin a new framework after that.
- 3Check the full CCS tender documents (this notice is just a summary). You need to see: pricing schedules, technical specifications required, insurance/compliance standards, and the application process.
- 4Look for whether the DPS is 'open' (new suppliers can join) or 'closed' — if closed, you've missed the window.
- 5CCS frameworks are UK-wide, so your competitors could be large national companies. Price competitively but don't race to the bottom.
Tips for Small Businesses
- DPS work is steady but unpredictable — budget for lower order values initially, but it can scale if government departments trust you. Build relationships with procurement officers.
- Consider subcontracting to installers if you manufacture chargers, or partnering with a manufacturer if you're an installer. You don't have to do everything yourself.
- Government buyers often score on social value — if you can offer apprenticeships, local employment, or environmental benefits beyond the product, highlight it in your application.
