UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council, a public authority operating under sub-central government, has completed a direct procurement process for the "Delivery of Electrical Installation Condition Reports." This contract, valued at £175,000 excluding VAT, stems from new electrical testing regulations applicable to social rented homes. The tender, categorised under electrical services, concluded with an award to Electrical Compliance & Safety Ltd to conduct safety checks on up to 800 tenanted properties in Swindon, UK. The contract, signed on 18th December 2025, is set to commence on 5th January 2026 and conclude by the end of February 2026, with no competition involved since it was below the threshold.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical compliance and testing, particularly those geared towards supporting regulatory changes in the housing sector. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in electrical services are well-positioned to leverage such contracts for growth, as they can offer tailored solutions for public authorities dealing with compliance requirements. The evolving regulatory landscape in the social housing sector provides ample potential for companies that can promptly adapt and deliver efficient compliance and safety services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Delivery of Electrical Installation Condition Reports

Notice Description

The new electrical testing law coming into force in May 2026 is the extension of the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 to cover social rented homes. From that date, landlords in the social rented sector will be legally required to carry out regular electrical safety checks, just as private landlords already must provide those electrical tests. Consequently and following a recent Housing Regulator report, Swindon Borough Council has identified that up to 800 tenanted properties are urgently required to have these checks carried out during the period January-February 2026.
