UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council intends to procure electrical installation works for communal areas supporting its Housing Services teams. The supplier will support the Council’s housing maintenance, construction and infrastructure programmes by carrying out electrical installations in communal areas across Nottingham. This is a works contract for electrical installation work, including the delivery and associated on-site activities needed to support communal housing maintenance. The buyer is Nottingham City Council, based at Loxley House in Nottingham, and the work will be delivered within the city. The procurement is intended to secure a reliable supplier for the Council’s housing maintenance teams. It may suit electrical contractors with experience of communal-area installations and housing maintenance environments.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Council has announced its intention to procure and expects to run a below-threshold open competition. The planned contract is one lot, with an indicative contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £4.8 million excluding VAT and £5.76 million including VAT. The procurement is below the relevant threshold. The lot is planned as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The Council has corrected the published value because VAT was previously miscalculated. A future tender notice is expected to provide the detailed requirements and bidding arrangements.

The work is likely to suit electrical installation contractors able to deliver communal-area works for housing services and to support an ongoing maintenance programme across a city-wide housing portfolio. Suppliers should consider their capacity to provide dependable installation teams, manage work in communal residential settings and coordinate delivery with housing maintenance teams and wider construction or infrastructure activity. Businesses with relevant experience in electrical installations for council or social housing environments are likely to be well placed to prepare. The Council has indicated that the contract should be accessible to SMEs and VCSEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist contractors as well as larger organisations with suitable delivery capacity. This is a pipeline opportunity for market preparation, not an invitation to bid.
