Summary of the contracting process

First Choice Homes Oldham procured gas and electrical auditing services. The requirement is to provide measurable assurance that gas and electrical works carried out by its contractors are completed safely and comply with current regulations, applicable standards and best-practice guidance. This is a professional assurance and compliance service rather than the delivery of installation or maintenance works. The buying organisation is First Choice Homes Oldham, a public authority based in Oldham. The services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as auditing services under CPV code 79212000. The requirement covers audits of both gas and electrical work, so relevant suppliers need to understand the safety, regulatory and quality requirements applying across both disciplines and be able to assess contractors’ completed works against them.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to MORGAN LAMBERT LIMITED, an SME. There was one lot. The award date was 29 July 2026, following an open procedure. Two bids were received, both reaching the final stage and both from SMEs. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It may be extended by two years at annual intervals, with a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. The awarded and contracted value is £245,487 excluding VAT, or £294,584.40 including VAT. The lot was suitable for SMEs and evaluated equally on price and quality, with each carrying 50% of the score. The tender submission language was English, with bids due by 29 June 2026 at 10:00.

This award shows that First Choice Homes Oldham buys independent assurance over contractors’ gas and electrical works as a combined requirement. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement will be able to audit both disciplines, test whether completed work is safe and compliant, and apply current regulations, standards and recognised best-practice guidance in a consistent way. Credible competitors should be able to produce measurable assurance rather than only descriptive inspection reports, identify non-compliance clearly and provide evidence that supports the buyer’s oversight of its contractors. The procurement also demonstrates that an SME can compete successfully for this type of public-sector compliance service. A supplier with established audit methodologies, suitably competent gas and electrical personnel, and experience assessing outsourced housing or similar works would be well aligned with this buyer’s requirement.
