Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for electrical upgrades at Karbon Homes has reached the award stage as of 27th February 2026. Karbon Homes, a sub-central government public authority with headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne, sought competitive bids through an open competition method for electrical installations, repairs, and replacement works across its properties. The procurement belongs to the works category, with a total award value of £2,000,000 (gross £2,400,000). FORTIFY ELECTRICAL SERVICES LIMITED, operating predominantly in Villa Real, Consett, was awarded the contract on the aforementioned date. The initial contract period begins on 1st April 2026, spanning two years, with potential extensions for up to an additional two years, running until 30th March 2030.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical fitting work, especially those geared towards servicing large-scale housing projects. The open competition and inclusion of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) enhances accessibility for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the electrical works industry. Such projects not only offer significant financial prospects but also the opportunity to establish long-term relationships with a prominent public sector body. Businesses with expertise in electrical wiring and fitting work, and the ability to maintain competitive pricing while delivering quality and social value, are particularly well-suited to succeed in similar procurement processes.
