Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing commissioned periodic electrical inspection and testing, including Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), under a supplementary contract. The work is a technical inspection and testing service for electrical installations, delivered across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Southern Housing. This requirement is specifically for recurring electrical condition inspections and testing across a wide, multi-region area, rather than general building work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Niblock (Builders) Ltd through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 6 October 2026. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. The awarded value is £3,549,043.23. The original tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026. The process was for one supplementary contract covering the stated regions. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the basis on which the selected supplier was assessed cannot be described here.

For suppliers considering similar Southern Housing work, this award demonstrates demand for periodic electrical installation inspections and EICRs across several regions, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to inspect and test electrical installations and produce condition reports, together with the operational capacity to coordinate delivery over a geographically broad housing portfolio. The scale of the award indicates a substantial service requirement, and the successful contractor is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of work can be delivered by an SME. Experience managing multi-site inspection programmes and maintaining consistent service across dispersed locations would be relevant to competing for this buyer’s recurring electrical inspection requirement.
