Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southern Housing bought periodic electrical inspection and testing, including Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), as a supplementary contract. The work is technical inspection and testing of electrical installations for the housing provider. Delivery covers locations across the East Midlands, West Midlands, London, South East and South West of England. The requirement is for a geographically spread programme of inspections rather than a single-site service. It sits within services procurement and is intended to provide periodic checks of electrical installations. The buyer is Southern Housing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The Wiggett Group Ltd. The award was made on 2 October 2026, with the contract running from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. The awarded value is £2,035,043.23. The buyer used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 1 September 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information does not state award-scoring criteria, so no evaluation basis can be reported. This was a supplementary contract for the stated inspection and testing requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Southern Housing for a substantial, multi-region programme of periodic electrical inspections and EICRs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the technical capability to inspect and test electrical installations consistently across dispersed housing locations, organise delivery at scale, and produce the required condition reports. The successful supplier was The Wiggett Group Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the work was deliverable by an SME. The route used was a call-off from a framework agreement, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework. The requirement is specifically electrical inspection and testing, rather than general building or maintenance services.
