Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council, through Leeds Building Services, procured electrical safety testing for 10 Active Leeds sites. The work supports the testing of council assets so they remain electrically safe and suitable for continued use, with the appointed supplier acting as a subcontractor to the in-house service provider. This is an electrical services and building-installation testing requirement. Activity is associated with Leeds City Council assets in the West Yorkshire area. The requirement is relevant to electrical inspection and testing contractors able to work across multiple public-sector leisure or community sites, particularly those accustomed to supporting an in-house estates or building-services team through a subcontracting arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 17 July 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was signed on 24 July 2026. British Engineering Services Limited was awarded the requirement. The tender estimated value was £99,000 excluding VAT (£118,800 including VAT), while the signed contract value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. There was one lot. Evaluation was based on price only, with the lowest total price using the most cost-effective approach selected. Submissions could be made electronically, and the contract is active.

This award indicates a recurring need for electrical safety testing across a council’s Active Leeds estate, delivered through a subcontracting route alongside an in-house building-services provider. A credible future competitor would need a tester holding a Level 3 Testing and Inspection qualification and membership of a recognised Competent Person scheme. The delivery model also requires practical capacity for night work only, from Monday to Thursday, across four shifts. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide suitably qualified testing personnel, organise consistent out-of-hours attendance at multiple sites, and work within public-sector asset-safety procedures. Electrical testing businesses with experience supporting local-authority estates, leisure facilities or other occupied public buildings would be well placed when this requirement returns.
