Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is seeking a contractor for periodic fixed electrical inspections in council properties throughout Dumfries and Galloway. The service is intended to maintain electrical safety and compliance across the council’s property portfolio. The contract covers electrical installation condition reports, including inspection schedules, test-result schedules, schematic or distribution diagrams, defect schedules with recommendations, and distribution board circuit reports. This is a building inspection and electrical services requirement, including work on electrical circuits and contacts. It is a single-lot service opportunity, delivered across Dumfries and Galloway. The council requires an appropriately certified and qualified contractor to carry out the inspections and associated reporting.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission and an electronic auction. The deadline for tenders is 2 October 2026 at 12:00; the tenders will be opened at the same time. The contract is expected to run for 1,800 days, described as an initial five-year term, with no renewal or extension option recorded. Its estimated value is £800,000 including the single lot. Bids must remain valid for 120 days and be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality. A document participation fee applies. The requirement is recurrent when the contract term expires.

This opportunity suits electrical inspection contractors with the certification, technical qualifications and operational capacity to survey council properties across Dumfries and Galloway and produce compliant, detailed electrical installation condition reports. Bidders must identify the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work, so firms need suitably qualified inspection personnel and the ability to maintain an appropriately skilled team. Experience in building inspections, electrical circuits, distribution boards, testing, defect identification and remedial recommendations will be relevant to the required outputs. Suppliers should also be prepared to deliver community benefits and comply with a subcontracting clause. The scale and geographic spread favour contractors able to plan and manage a sustained, area-wide inspection service.
