Purpose

The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund is a
Government funded programme to deliver electric vehicle (EV)
charging facilities for residents that do not have access to offstreet parking.
To enable an effective approach to the market, three LEVI
consortiums have been established in the Midlands, each led by
a designated Local Transport Authority. Lincolnshire leads the
“Third” authority which comprises Herefordshire County
Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Telford and Wrekin
Council. LCC is the lead for the procurement exercise only. Each
individual consortium member will execute and manage their
own contracts. The contract length is 15 years, with the
possibility of an extension of a maximum of one year.
The procurement exercise for the project commenced in midNovember 2025 and was delivered through an open tender
process, structured into two lots based on technology type. The
outcomes of procurement exercise can be found in the following
tables.

Decision

To award a contract to the highest ranked bidder of each lot:
• Lot 1 7-22kW chargepoints – Char.gy Limited
• Lot 2 50Kw chargepoints – EZO Charging Limited

Alternative options considered

All four bidders passed their assessment and offered
chargepoint socket numbers greater than the minimum set out
in our specification. Therefore no alternative options have been
considered.
