Summary of the contracting process

Barcud Shared Services, based in Cardiff, UK, has initiated a public procurement process titled "Electrical Services Framework" within the works and services industry category. The framework is structured as an 8-year open framework, encompassing two specific lots: Electrical Inspection, Testing and Solar PV Inspections, and Electrical Rewiring Works. The tender process, following an open procedure, commenced on 29th April 2026, with the deadline for tender submissions set for 1st June 2026, and enquiries closing on 25th May 2026. The award decisions are expected by 26th June 2026. This procurement is governed by Welsh devolved regulations and aims to cater to regions UKL1 and UKL2 within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs and VCSEs specialising in electrical services and installation, as well as solar PV inspections. The framework agreement allows participation from any public body and offers the chance for businesses to secure long-term contracts until 2034. It's an ideal opportunity for companies with expertise in technical inspections, electrical installations, and solar technology to expand their market presence. With an estimated gross value of £19.2 million across both lots, firms able to demonstrate competitive pricing and high-quality service standards will be well-placed to compete in this procurement process. Businesses fulfilling the selection and award criteria, particularly those with a solid track record in similar works, health and safety compliance, and adequate resources, are encouraged to apply.
