Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council procured electrical installation services to fit mains isolation switches in its social housing across the Borough of Welwyn Hatfield. The work covers installing a Wylex 100-amp double-pole isolation switch and meter tails, completing the associated administration, and supplying an NICEIC test certificate. The council is the buyer. The requirement is specifically for electrical isolation-switch installations in social homes, rather than general electrical maintenance or a wider housing works programme.

The open-procedure procurement is complete and was awarded to A Coole Electrical Ltd on 9 October 2026. The published award value is £0. The contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 30 September 2029; the tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026. The requirement was procured as one overall contract, with no lots recorded. The stated evaluation basis is not detailed in the available procurement information. Participation required a valid Meter Operation Code of Practice Agreement registration certificate, which contractors had to include with their tender submission.

This award shows demand from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council for the installation of mains isolation switches in its social housing, including meter tails, the necessary administration and NICEIC testing certification. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to deliver the complete installation and certification service and hold valid Meter Operation Code of Practice Agreement registration. The awarded contract spans several years, indicating a requirement suited to a contractor able to maintain delivery capacity across the council’s housing work over an extended period. The council did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those groups should consider that stated suitability position when assessing the fit.
