Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited commissioned electrical quality assurance audits of work in progress by its directly employed electrical operatives. The service is technical inspection and testing, focused on checking electrical work while it is being carried out. The contract covers one lot, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This requirement is for an independent audit and assurance service supporting the housing group’s own electrical workforce, rather than for electrical installation or repair work itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CORGI Technical Services Limited. Thirteen Housing Group used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option for one further 12-month period, to a maximum end date of 30 September 2028. The contract value is £89,940 including VAT. The process comprised one lot. The published information describes the requirement as work-in-progress audits of directly employed electrical operatives; it does not state a separate scoring or evaluation basis.

For future requirements of this kind, credible competitors will need to demonstrate the ability to inspect electrical work while it is under way and provide dependable quality assurance for a housing provider’s directly employed operatives. Technical inspection and testing capability is central; this is an auditing service, not a general electrical contracting opportunity. The selected supplier, CORGI Technical Services Limited, is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business has delivered the service. Suppliers should be able to support work across the United Kingdom and operate effectively under a limited-competition procurement route. The contract’s single-lot structure indicates a requirement delivered as one overall service rather than separate regional or technical packages.
