Evidence
North Ayrshire Council is extending the maintenance contract for its public EV chargers directly with Swarco Smart Charging (Evolt), to the end of 2026, with no competition, because only Swarco can service the Evolt and Circontrol units it installed. There is no bid to chase, but the full analysis reads the lesson: how proprietary charger hardware locks in the upkeep for years, who the widely deployed incumbent is, and the wider North Ayrshire EV programme this small extension sits inside.
