Summary of the contracting process

This process involves electrical testing and necessary remedial works, with approximately 1,500 tests conducted annually. The procurement falls under the category of services within the CPV classification for electrical services and spans regions UKC and UKE. This was a direct award procedure on the ESPO Framework Agreement (reference 306_23), executed without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £720,000 GBP, was awarded on 26th March 2026 to BES Group Electrical Limited and remains active, marking the process as complete.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical testing and inspection services, particularly those capable of adhering to stringent health and safety standards such as BS 7671. Given the direct award nature of the procurement, firms looking to expand into strategic, framework-based collaborations could benefit from engaging with Karbon Homes for similar future opportunities. Large-scale electrical service providers are well-suited to compete, as evidenced by the successful award to BES Group Electrical Limited, a company based in Warrington.
