Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is seeking an appropriately certified and qualified contractor for periodic fixed electrical inspections in council properties throughout Dumfries and Galloway. The service falls within electrical and building-inspection services and is intended to maintain compliance across the council’s property portfolio. The contractor must produce new Electrical Installation Condition Reports, including inspection schedules, test-result schedules, schematic or distribution diagrams, defect schedules with recommendations, and distribution-board circuit reports. The requirement is a single service lot. Work is delivered across Dumfries and Galloway, with the council as the contracting authority. The contract also includes electronic ordering and permits electronic invoicing and payment, alongside requirements relating to subcontracting and community benefits.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically. The tender submission deadline is 18 September 2026 at 12:00 BST, when bids are also scheduled to be opened and evaluation is due to begin. The contract period is 1,800 days, with an intended initial term of five years; the requirement is recurring when the term and any extensions expire. Its estimated value is £800,000. Evaluation is weighted 60% to price and 40% to quality. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after the deadline, and variants are not allowed. An electronic auction is included in the procedure. A document access fee applies, and the tender must be submitted in English.

This opportunity suits electrical inspection contractors that hold the certifications and qualifications needed to carry out fixed electrical installation inspections and produce compliant technical reports. Bidders should be able to inspect council properties across Dumfries and Galloway, complete structured testing and documentation, identify defects, make recommendations, and prepare schematic or distribution diagrams and circuit reports. The buyer requires the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the contract, so suppliers need an appropriately qualified delivery team and the capacity to provide evidence of its competence. Firms should also be prepared to meet subcontracting obligations and deliver the community benefits included in the requirement. Experience managing inspection programmes across a dispersed public-sector property portfolio would be directly relevant.
