Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council is procuring fixed electrical testing services for Ashfield District Council’s non-domestic properties. The work covers inspection, testing and servicing of fixed electrical equipment installed in assets owned by the district council, to help ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Delivery is in the East Midlands. Although Nottinghamshire County Council is the buyer, the requirement is specifically for Ashfield District Council’s property portfolio. This is a specialist building-services requirement centred on inspection and maintenance of installed electrical systems, rather than general construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. AST Electrical Solutions Ltd was selected, with an award value of £28,077.50. The award date was 26 September 2025, and the contract runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2028. The tender deadline was 6 August 2025 at 12 noon. The procurement was described as using an “other” method; no further procedure or evaluation basis is recorded. It is identified as Lot 11, for fixed electrical testing services. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

This award shows recurring demand from the council group for fixed electrical inspection, testing and servicing across non-domestic public assets. A credible competitor would need the technical capability and operational capacity to inspect and test installed electrical equipment, carry out associated servicing, and support safety and regulatory compliance across a property portfolio. The selected supplier is a small business, indicating that this requirement was delivered by an SME, although the award alone does not establish specific qualifications, accreditations or staffing levels. Businesses with relevant electrical testing experience and the ability to organise work across Ashfield District Council’s assets are closest to the requirement. The contract’s three-year term offers a clear reference point for understanding the scale and continuity of this buyer’s need.
