Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Northamptonshire Partnership Homes involved the title "Emergency Lighting Compliance checks," focusing on the service category of electrical building installations maintenance and repair. This procurement was located in West Northamptonshire, within the UKF24 region, and completed the award stage on 8th May 2025, with a value of GBP 138,140.50. The contract, described as necessary due to extreme urgency, utilised a limited procurement method. The method bypassed a typical call for competition due to the pressing requirement for monthly emergency lighting tests at 410 blocks of flats, ensuring compliance and tenant safety in social housing.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in maintenance services of electrical installations, particularly those experienced in compliance checks and urgent safety work. Dodd Group Midlands Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) from Northampton, successfully secured this contract, highlighting a well-suited opportunity for similarly sized businesses that can offer quick and reliable service under urgent conditions. Companies looking to expand their services into social housing safety or compliance sectors may find similar procurements beneficial for business growth, especially if they can demonstrate expertise in urgent and remedial work.

Monthly emergency light flick tests at 410 blocks of flats.

Procurement Information

During an audit of our Fire Safety Compliance processes it was highlighted that monthly testing on Emergency Lighting on 2 storey blocks of flats was required and had not historically been carried out. Contractors were urgently required to carry out monthly testing to ensure not only our compliance but the safety of tenants in social housing. As we had already previously contracted a supplier via a competitive process to carry out the annual compliance checks on these same blocks of flats it made economical sense to award them a contract to also complete the monthly checks. Although a full procurement process was not completed, we had approached the market for suppliers who could complete similar work on 3 storey buildings and therefore had prices to compare to those submitted by this contractor.
