Cross Pavement Channels for On-street Electric Vehicle Charging

Hampshire County Council · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 1 Oct 2026, 04:28.

Opportunity overview

Hampshire County Council is considering whether cross‑pavement channels could form part of the county’s future on‑street electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The Authority is intending to reach out to the market via market engagement. This market engagement is exploratory in nature and is intended to inform the potential scope, feasibility and considerations of any future approach to provide cross‑pavement cable management solutions. It seeks to develop a high‑level understanding of the market and available solutions rather than to assess or select suppliers or products. In particular, Hampshire County Council is seeking information relating to: • The types of cross‑pavement cable management solutions currently available and their level of market maturity. • Technical design characteristics, materials and construction methods, and suitability for installation within the public highway. • Safety, accessibility and equality considerations, including impacts on pedestrians and users with disabilities. • Installation requirements, interaction with existing footway construction, and implications for inspection, maintenance and reinstatement. • Operational, asset management and responsibility models, including ownership, liability and ongoing maintenance arrangements. • High‑level indicative costs and commercial approaches adopted by other authorities or organisations.
