Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution plc, part of SSE, procured electrical works to inspect, repair, maintain, replace and rectify rising and lateral mains assets on its electricity distribution network. The work covers installations up to 240V in multi-occupancy buildings, where mains cables and lateral service cables supply individual properties. Contractors must obtain and comply with the consents and permits required for the works. The geographical scope covers North and South Caledonia, including Aberdeen, Morayshire, Dundee, Perth and Tayside, together with the Highlands and Islands: Shetland, Orkney, the Western Isles, Arran and Bute. The procurement combines inspection and rectification activity, with electricity distribution and related services as an associated category.

The procurement is complete: three awards are active and three associated contracts were signed on 18 September 2026. Four lots were listed for inspection, remediation or combined inspection and rectification work, but each lot is recorded as cancelled. The estimated procurement value was £6,000,000 including the overall requirement. It used a selective, negotiated procedure with prior call for competition and a framework arrangement for up to eight participants. The response deadline, extended by amendment, was 31 December 2024 at 12:00. The stated lot contract duration was 1,440 days, with optional extensions described as two further one-year periods. Participation required an Achilles UVDB audit, bids had to be in English, and variants were not allowed. Evaluation documents covered economic and technical selection criteria.

This requirement indicates demand for specialist electrical distribution contractors able to work on rising and lateral mains in occupied or multi-occupancy buildings, including systems up to 240V. A credible competitor would need practical capability in inspection, fault identification, repair, maintenance, replacement and remedial installation, covering both employer-owned assets and networks where the distributor acts as the building network operator. Experience across dispersed Scottish and island locations would be relevant, particularly where access, logistics and permitting are more demanding. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate audited Achilles UVDB status, technical competence, economic standing and the ability to manage required consents and permits. The use of a selective negotiated route and framework model also favours established contractors with the capacity to support a multi-region utility requirement.
