Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured mechanical and electrical works, goods and services for buildings and related accommodation across England. The requirement covers air-conditioning installation, replacement, servicing, maintenance and statutory inspections, electrical and mechanical services, landlord-area broadband and digital IRS installation and servicing. It also includes mechanical and electrical disabled adaptations, domestic and commercial rewiring, including high-voltage work, electrical installation condition reports for blocks, commercial premises and dwellings, and electric vehicle charging installation and servicing. Associated activities include new supply connections, general plumbing, pipework, maintenance, replacement and installation work directly related to these services. The awarded requirement is Lot 1, combining works, goods and services, with telecommunications, building-installation, repair and maintenance, and communications-equipment installation elements.

The procurement is complete and Lot 1 was awarded to Sureserve Compliance Central Limited on 5 August 2026; the contract was signed on that date. Its value is £25 million excluding VAT and £30 million including VAT. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2031, with a possible extension to 4 August 2036 under the contract terms. The award followed the initial award process, although this release is recorded as a direct award and explains that it was published to correct a multi-lot portal error. Lot 2, covering fire, safety and security works, goods and services, was terminated by the authority after the portal incorrectly cancelled a lot, and received no award. The contract is above threshold and has three agreed performance measures: emergency repairs made safe within four hours, responsive repairs completed within 15 working days on average, and all statutory inspections completed on time.

This outcome identifies a substantial, multi-disciplinary building-services requirement for suppliers able to deliver planned and responsive mechanical and electrical work across England. A credible future competitor would need capability in air-conditioning compliance and maintenance, electrical and mechanical installation, domestic and commercial rewiring, block, dwelling and commercial inspection and testing, plumbing-related works, communications systems, disabled adaptations and electric vehicle charging. The requirement also suits organisations with sufficient operational capacity to coordinate installation, servicing, maintenance and emergency repairs across a broad geographic area, including landlord and residential environments. Strong performance controls matter: suppliers would need systems and staffing to make emergency repairs safe within four hours, complete responsive repairs efficiently, and maintain full compliance with statutory inspection deadlines. Experience managing integrated building-maintenance programmes would be relevant when this requirement returns to market.
