EV Charger Installers for UK NHS & Healthcare Sites

NHS and healthcare EV charging sits inside a broader net-zero obligation. Under the Health and Care Act 2022, the NHS in England has statutory net-zero duties; the Greener NHS programme commits to net-zero for the emissions the NHS directly controls (the NHS Carbon Footprint) by 2040, and for the wider NHS Carbon Footprint Plus by 2045. Fleet electrification is one of the more measurable contributions — community-nursing vans, patient-transport vehicles, estates fleet and staff commuting all sit in scope.

The 1132 installers on this page are all OZEV-authorised for commercial work on the public GOV.UK list. OZEV does not publish a healthcare sub-tag, and there is no NHS-specific OZEV grant scheme — trusts typically procure through public-sector frameworks and apply for the same general OZEV schemes as any other public-sector body.

Typical NHS / healthcare scope

• Estates fleet AC, 7–22 kW — community-nursing vans, estates and facilities, social-care vehicles. WCS-eligible off-street parking in most cases.
• Staff car-park AC, 7 kW — high socket-count, low-power. Staff commuting is a large share of NHS Carbon Footprint Plus emissions.
• Patient and visitor bays, mixed AC + DC — public-access and revenue-generating; subject to the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 at 8 kW and above.
• Blue-light / ambulance trust depots — rapid DC for vehicle turnaround between shifts. Closer to a logistics depot than a typical hospital car park.

Procurement and grants

• NHS Shared Business Services frameworks and Crown Commercial Service RM6213 are the main routes. Trusts can also tender directly under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
• Workplace Charging Scheme is open to public-sector bodies for off-street staff and fleet parking — up to £500 per socket (the rate in force since 1 April 2026), capped at 75% of cost and 40 sockets per applicant. The voucher is redeemed through an OZEV-authorised installer.
• Depot Charging Scheme applies where an NHS depot operates zero-emission HGVs, vans or coaches — ambulance, patient transport and large estates fleets can qualify. 70% of chargepoint and civil costs, capped at £1m per organisation; first window 25 March – 30 June 2026, works completed by 31 March 2027.

There is no NHS-specific OZEV grant beyond these general schemes. Some trusts have funded EV-adjacent work through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) where it forms part of a wider heat-decarbonisation business case, but PSDS is not primarily an EV scheme — check the current Salix rules before assuming eligibility.

Specific considerations for hospital sites

• Resilience and back-up generation — hospital sites are critical infrastructure. Where the EV load is material, the installer must coordinate with the estate's standby generation and load-shedding strategy.
• Existing power constraints — older hospital sites often have constrained supplies already. A DNO upgrade for EV may unlock other estate decarbonisation work (heat pumps, theatre ventilation) and should be scoped jointly.
• Public-access compliance — patient and visitor bays at 8 kW or above must accept contactless payment and publish pricing under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023.

Buying questions a trust should ask

• Which framework are you bidding under, and can you show two recent NHS or public-sector references at similar scale?
• How does the design interact with the site's existing standby generation and resilience strategy?
• How are staff, patient/visitor and fleet bays separated in the WCS and Depot Charging Scheme claims?
• Does the back-office report energy and emissions in a format that maps to the Greener NHS reporting framework?
• What ongoing operational cost (back-office, maintenance, payment fees) sits with the trust beyond the capital project?
