Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council has awarded a contract for "Electrical Legislation Duties" to ensure compliance with new legislative requirements for electrical safety, smoke, and carbon monoxide detectors within their housing portfolio. The contract, valued at £273,600, was directly awarded to Sureserve Compliance Central Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London. The procurement method was a direct award, necessitated by the urgency and alignment with the Council’s fiscal schedule, running from 1st November 2025 to 31st March 2026. This process is situated within the services industry category and covers the district of Bassetlaw, United Kingdom (UKF15 region). The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract signed on 30th October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the installation and maintenance of electrical systems, particularly those that already have the capacity to handle large-scale contracts efficiently. Companies offering fire-alarm systems, detection apparatus, gas-detection equipment, and comprehensive electrical installation services are well-suited to compete for such contracts in the future. The focus on ensuring compliance with new electrical regulations can drive demand for specialised expertise and innovation in compliance methodologies, offering an advantage to businesses with a robust track record in this domain.

Notice Title

Electrical Legislation Duties

Notice Description

To ensure we fulfil our Landlord duties under compliance for completing the electrical testing works at sites and properties, within the Authorities stock portfolio, and located throughout the district of Bassetlaw. This will also allow us to meet our obligations under new legislation for providing adequate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors within the housing stock.

Procurement Information

The contract term expiration period would serve better for BDC if it ran concurrent to our financial year for planning and budget setting going forward. The full specification for the current EICR programme needs reviewing to ensure it meets with latest electrical regulations and requirements of BDC, unfortunately for five months the Housing Repairs Service were without an Electrical Engineer, best qualified to write this specification. The Council would therefore have been unable to undertake a full tender exercise and have a contractor in place to start the next phase of the programme by 1 April 2025. Request to extend contract would allow the Electrical Engineer to complete a full review and have a written specification that would serve BDC for a full five years from April 2026.
