Mitie has struck a deal with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to roll out charge points at more than 120 job centres across Britain.  

Mitie will design, install and maintain around 250 EO EV charging points across over 120 centres

The £4.3m contract will see Mitie design, install and maintain around 250 EO EV charging points across the centres.

It’s the latest work in Mitie’s ongoing five-year relationship with DWP; it’s also working closely with DWP’s sustainability team on areas such as waste, biodiversity, decarbonisation and solar power.

Mitie also continues to work with DWP across a range of areas, supporting its work on net zero targets and achieving a fully electric fleet by 2030.

The contract is Mitie’s second large-scale EV infrastructure roll out for the public sector, following a £4.5m agreement with DEFRA to install and maintain charge points for the Environment Agency.

It also draws on Mitie’s expertise installing more than 2,000 EV charging points across Mitie colleagues’ homes and private sector sites.

Pradyumna Pandit, managing director, sustainability and energy services at Mitie, said: “Getting workplace car parks ready and welcoming with charging facilities is critical for the transition to an electric future. We are proud to partner with DWP as they lead the way in demonstrating their commitment to net zero with EV ready sites.”
