Summary of the contracting process

Qualis Property Solutions Ltd procured electrical installation testing and remedial works for the Epping Forest District Council Electrical Testing Programme. The work covers residential properties, communal blocks and communal areas, with electrical installation condition reports, agreed repairs, full rewires where required, satisfactory certification, and certificates uploaded through the Qualis portal. It also includes landlord lighting duration tests, inspection and testing of communal electrical systems, and labelling distribution boards and circuits. The programme is intended to maintain compliance with current electrical regulations and provide a consistent, cost-effective service. Work is delivered across Essex, for domestic and commercial property managed through the programme. The procurement is categorised as electrical installation work and repair and maintenance services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. CB Services Group Ltd and KBH Building Services Limited were selected jointly on 30 June 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The active contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031. Its value is £3,340,000 excluding VAT and £4,000,000 including VAT. The requirement is structured as a five-year programme, with work orders issued quarterly in line with the agreed programme. Performance includes completion against target dates, accurate EICR certificates, monthly performance reviews and quarterly strategic reporting. The contract is below the relevant threshold.

This award indicates sustained demand from Qualis Property Solutions for planned electrical compliance and property maintenance across residential and communal housing. A credible future competitor would need to carry out full electrical installation testing, EICR production, remedial repairs and rewires, while also handling communal-area inspections, landlord lighting tests and distribution-board labelling. Delivery must follow the IET Wiring Regulations, Building Regulations, BS7671, relevant British Standards, health and safety law and NHF Schedule of Rates 7.1. Required accreditations are NICEIC, CHAS and Constructionline. Strong candidates would also demonstrate appointment management, reliable access arrangements, accurate digital certification, KPI reporting, dedicated contract management, sustainable materials, waste reduction, carbon reduction, local employment and apprenticeships.
