Summary of the contracting process

The Bernicia Group, a public undertaking in the UK, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a contract titled "Property Electrical Repairs - Berwick-upon-Tweed Area" under the services category. The contract aims to provide electrical property repairs and maintenance across Bernicia Group’s housing stock in Berwick-upon-Tweed and North Northumberland. A Market Engagement Day is scheduled for 20th August 2026 at Bernicia's office in Berwick-upon-Tweed, with a due date for expressions of interest by 19th August 2026. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, involves an estimated £3,000,000 over a planned period beginning 1st April 2027 and ending on 31st March 2030, with potential renewal extending to 31st March 2032. Interested parties can expect future notices prior to 18th September 2026.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical services, particularly those adept in reactive and planned property maintenance. Companies with capabilities in fault detection, repair and replacement of electrical components, and undertaking minor installations will find this contract to be a significant growth opportunity. The emphasis on delivering high-quality, customer-focused services makes this an ideal opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer flexible, client-sensitive solutions. As the procurement is above threshold, it presents a considerable chance to engage with a major public undertaking, enhancing business portfolios and contributing to local community development.
